In the somatosensory barrel cortex these columns are defined by the readily discernible barrel structure in layer 4. Information processing in the neocortex occurs along vertical and horizontal axes, thereby linking individual barrel-related columns via axons running through the different cortical layers of the barrel cortex. Long-range signaling occurs within the neocortical layers but also through axons projecting through the white matter to other neocortical areas and subcortical brain regions. Because of the ease of identification of barrel-related columns, the rodent barrel cortex has become a prototypical system to study the interactions between different neuronal connections within a sensory cortical area and between this area and other cortical as well subcortical regions. Such interactions will be discussed specifically for the feed-forward and feedback loops between the somatosensory and the somatomotor cortices as well as the different thalamic nuclei. In addition, recent advances concerning the morphological characteristics of excitatory neurons and their impact on the synaptic connectivity patterns and signaling properties of neuronal microcircuits in the whisker-related somatosensory cortex will be reviewed. In this context, their relationship between the structural properties of barrel-related columns and their function as a module in vertical synaptic signaling in the whisker-related cortical areas will be discussed. 000112040 536__ $$0G:(DE-Juel1)FUEK409$$2G:(DE-HGF)$$aFunktion und Dysfunktion des Nervensystems (FUEK409)$$cFUEK409$$x0 000112040 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-89571$$a89571 - Connectivity and Activity (POF2-89571)$$cPOF2-89571$$fPOF II T$$x1 000112040 588__ $$aDataset connected to Web of Science, Pubmed 000112040 65320 $$2Author$$abarrel cortex 000112040 65320 $$2Author$$acortical column 000112040 65320 $$2Author$$aexcitatory connections 000112040 65320 $$2Author$$along-range collaterals 000112040 65320 $$2Author$$apyramidal cell 000112040 65320 $$2Author$$asomatosensory cortex 000112040 65320 $$2Author$$aspiny stellate cell 000112040 650_7 $$2WoSType$$aJ 000112040 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2452969-2$$a10.3389/fnana.2012.00024$$gVol. 6$$n24$$p1 - 22$$tFrontiers in neuroanatomy$$x1662-5129$$y2012 000112040 8567_ $$2Pubmed Central$$uhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3394394 000112040 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/112040/files/FZJ-112040.pdf$$yOpenAccess$$zPublished final document. 000112040 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/112040/files/FZJ-112040.jpg?subformat=icon-1440$$xicon-1440$$yOpenAccess 000112040 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/112040/files/FZJ-112040.jpg?subformat=icon-180$$xicon-180$$yOpenAccess 000112040 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/112040/files/FZJ-112040.jpg?subformat=icon-640$$xicon-640$$yOpenAccess 000112040 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:112040$$pdnbdelivery$$pVDB$$pdriver$$popen_access$$popenaire 000112040 9141_ $$y2012 000112040 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY3$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 3.0 000112040 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0040$$2StatID$$aPeer review unknown 000112040 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR 000112040 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000112040 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000112040 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000112040 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000112040 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000112040 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0310$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bNCBI Molecular Biology Database 000112040 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0500$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bDOAJ 000112040 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000112040 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews 000112040 9132_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-571$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-570$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lDecoding the Human Brain$$vConnectivity and Activity$$x0 000112040 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-89571$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-890$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-800$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bProgrammungebundene Forschung$$lohne Programm$$vConnectivity and Activity$$x1 000112040 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-2-20090406$$gINM$$kINM-2$$lMolekulare Organisation des Gehirns$$x0 000112040 970__ $$aVDB:(DE-Juel1)140713 000112040 980__ $$aVDB 000112040 980__ $$aConvertedRecord 000112040 980__ $$ajournal 000112040 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-2-20090406 000112040 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000112040 980__ $$aJUWEL 000112040 980__ $$aFullTexts 000112040 9801_ $$aFullTexts
