Anatomically revealed morphological patterns of pyramidal neurons in layer 5 of the motor cortex.

ABSTRACT: Neuronal cell types are essential to the comprehensive understanding of the neuronal function and neuron can be categorized by their anatomical property. However, complete morphology data for neurons with a whole brain projection, for example the pyramidal neurons in the cortex, are sparse because it is difficult to trace the neuronal fibers across the whole brain and acquire the neuron morphology at the single axon resolution. Thus the cell types of pyramidal neurons have yet to be studied at the single axon resolution thoroughly. In this work, we acquire images for a Thy1 H-line mouse brain using a fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography system. Then we sample 42 pyramidal neurons whose somata are in the layer 5 of the motor cortex and reconstruct their morphology across the who
