SUMMARY:Connectivity Matrix Analysis of Excitatory Cortical Networks - Gordon Shepherd\, Dept. of Physiology
DESCRIPTION:Cortical layering is a hallmark of mammalian neocortex\, and a major determinant of local synaptic circuit organization in sensory systems. In motor cortex\, the functional organization of cortical circuits across layers has not been resolved. We developed a general approach for estimating layer-specific connectivity in cortical circuits. Applying this to mouse motor cortex\, we obtained a laminar presynaptic-to-postsynaptic connectivity matrix. These data show the basic (stereotypic) intracortical pathways\, allow us to model the flow of excitation within the cortex\, and provide a quantitative ‘wiring diagram’ framework for understanding information processing in the local cortical networks involved in motor control.
