Form, synapses and orientation topography of a new cell type in layer 6 of the cat's primary visual cortex.

Here we report the morpho-functional features of a novel type of deep-layer neuron. The neuron was selected from a large pool of intracellularly labelled cells based on the large cell body, numerous spine-free dendrites with an overall interneuron morphology. However, the axon gave off long-range axons up to 2.
