abstract = {The neocortex of higher mammals consists of six layers and
three major populations of neurons, the majority of which
are excitatory pyramidal cells in layers 2/3, 5 and 6,
so-called spiny stellate and star pyramidal neurons in layer
4 and a very heterogeneous population of GABAergic
interneurons found throughout all cortical layers. These
neurons form individual, highly specific microcircuits with
each other thereby forming networks like the cortical
column. This chapter will summarize and discuss the axonal
arborization of principal excitatory neurons and it’s
implication for neocortical connectivity. It was long
thought that pyramidal cells represent a rather stereotyped
class of neurons both with respect to their dendritic
configuration and their axonal arborization. There is,
however, growing evidence that pyramidal cells show profound
structural and functional differences, not only between
cortical layers but also within a given layer. Principal
neurons except spiny stellate neurons and star pyramidal
cells in layer 4 generally have two axonal domains: a
vertically oriented domain that projects throughout the
cortical column into the white matter and from there either
to the contralateral hemisphere or to various subcortical
brain regions. The second domain forms a discontinuous
system of long-range horizontal projections either within a
given cortical or between cortical areas within a given
sensory or even between different sensory systems. In
summary, principal excitatory neurons in the neocortex vary
substantially in their axonal projection patterns and the
cellular as well as subcellular input and target specificity
of their axons thereby contributing to the enormous
computational capacity of the neocortex.},
