Simulated
data: Thalamocortical Pathway This figure shows the same simulated thalamocortical
pathway data, represented in ArborVitae using geometrical primitives rather
than voxels. The ventrobasal complex is at the lower left. Some of the cells
have elaborated dendrites and have sent axons running obliquely up to the
cerebral cortex (upper right). As a simplification, the cortex consists
of a reduced number of layers, one of which has target cells that likewise
have elaborated some dendrites. The TCA's meet these cells and arborize,
predominantly along the closest among the band of cells in the layer. Each
cell is given a separate hue. |
