Intrinsic circuitry involving the local axon collaterals of corticothalamic projection cells in mouse SmI cortex

White, Edward L., Keller, Asaf·1987·Journal of Comparative Neurology

Abstract

The objective of this study was to identify the components involved in a local synaptic circuit in the mouse cerebral cortex. The local axon collaterals of corticothalamic (CT) projection cells in the posteromedial barrel subfield area of primary somatosensory cortex were labeled by the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase injected into the ipsilateral thalamus. Thalamocortical (TC) axon terminals in the same region of cortex were labeled by lesion induced degeneration. CT axon terminals synapsed preferentially with dendritic shafts, whereas TC axon terminals synapsed mainly with dendritic spines. Some dendrites received both CT and TC synapses. Dendrites were interpreted to belong to nonspiny multipolar cells. These results indicate that a reciprocal synaptic relationship exists in the cortex between nonspiny multipolar cells and CT projection cells. Both CT projection cells and nonspiny multipolar neurons have been shown previously to receive TC synapses (White and Hersh: J. Neurocytol. 11:137-157, '82; White, Benshalom, and Hersch: J. Comp. Neurol. 229:311-320, '84). These findings imply that a triadic relationship involving afferent input and populations of CT projection and intrinsic neurons is a basic feature of the synaptic organization of the cerebral cortex.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Intracortical axons of layer 6 corticothalamic neurons preferentially target interneurons rather than excitatory cells.

    “and intracortical axons of L6 corticothalamic neurons show a preference for targeting interneurons over excitatory cells (Bortone et al., 2014; McGuire et al., 1984; White and Keller, 1987).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
