      abstract     = {Neocortical areas are believed to be organized into
                      vertical modules, the cortical columns, and the horizontal
                      layers 1-6. 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.},
