in both adult and immature animals, both having a round distribution of basal
dendrites around the soma, as shown in Fig. 5 (A,B adult; D,E immature) and
extensive proximal arborization of the apical dendrite. In addition, there was
a very large extension of the distal arborization of the apical dendrite in
the supragranular layers. Conversely, arborization of the basal dendrites of
RSad neurons was simpler and extended almost "symmetrically" in relation to
the neuronal axis; moreover, their apical dendrites had only a few proximal
branching and restricted distal branching to the superficial layers (Fig. 5C,
adult; F, immature)."pp.1019-1020
"... the main axonal collateral extension in the IB neurons of adult animals
was oriented tangentially, giving rise to one or more branches spreading many
hundreds of µm inside layers V-VI, whereas shorter collaterals were found to
end near the soma, or spread vertically close to the main neuronal axis and
end withing layers III and II. The pattern of axonal collateralization in the
RSna neurons was similar to that of the IB neurons. On the contrary, the axon
of RSad neurons principally originated collaterals diverging from the neuronal
axis and directed toward the more superficial layers (particularly layer
I).p.1020
