Dendritic structure varies as a function of eccentricity in V1: A quantitative study of NADPH diaphorase neurons in the diurnal South American rodent agouti, Dasyprocta prymnolopha

Highlights ► Nitrergic cortical circuitry of primary visual cortex is differentially specialized. ► Number and morphology of NADPH-d neurons change in V1 nasotemporal representation. ► Data are a new piece of evidence in favor of the diversity of V1 cortical organization. ► V1 circuitry variation ma...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► Nitrergic cortical circuitry of primary visual cortex is differentially specialized. ► Number and morphology of NADPH-d neurons change in V1 nasotemporal representation. ► Data are a new piece of evidence in favor of the diversity of V1 cortical organization. ► V1 circuitry variation may be higher than that envisaged by the ‘ice-cube’ model.
