abstract = {We measured the densities (fmol/mg protein) of 15 different
receptors of various transmitter systems in the
supragranular, granular and infragranular strata of 44 areas
of visual, somatosensory, auditory and multimodal
association systems of the human cerebral cortex. Receptor
densities were obtained after labeling of the receptors
using quantitative in vitro receptor autoradiography in
human postmortem brains. The mean density of each receptor
type over all cortical layers and of each of the three major
strata varies between cortical regions. In a single cortical
area, the multi-receptor fingerprints of its strata (i.e.,
polar plots, each visualizing the densities of multiple
different receptor types in supragranular, granular or
infragranular layers of the same cortical area) differ in
shape and size indicating regional and laminar specific
balances between the receptors. Furthermore, the three
strata are clearly segregated into well definable clusters
by their receptor fingerprints. Fingerprints of different
cortical areas systematically vary between functional
networks, and with the hierarchical levels within sensory
systems. Primary sensory areas are clearly separated from
all other cortical areas particularly by their very high
muscarinic M2 and nicotinic α4β2 receptor densities, and
to a lesser degree also by noradrenergic α2 and
serotonergic 5-HT2 receptors. Early visual areas of the
dorsal and ventral streams are segregated by their
multi-receptor fingerprints. The results are discussed on
the background of functional segregation, cortical
hierarchies, microstructural types, and the horizontal
(layers) and vertical (columns) organization in the cerebral
cortex. We conclude that a cortical column is composed of
segments, which can be assigned to the cortical strata. The
segments differ by their patterns of multi-receptor
balances, indicating different layer-specific signal
processing mechanisms. Additionally, the differences between
the strata-and area-specific fingerprints of the 44 areas
reflect the segregation of the cerebral cortex into
functionally and topographically definable groups of
cortical areas (visual, auditory, somatosensory, limbic,
motor), and reveals their hierarchical position (primary and
unimodal (early) sensory to higher sensory and finally to
multimodal association areas).},
