The existence of a layer IV in the rat motor cortex

We have reconstructed the laminar pattern of rat primary motor cortex (Fr1) using a computerized analysis system based on the so-called 'optical dissector'. Data were visualized on a graphics terminal. In contrast to current views, which state that there is no prominent layer IV in the mot...

Zusammenfassung:	We have reconstructed the laminar pattern of rat primary motor cortex (Fr1) using a computerized analysis system based on the so-called 'optical dissector'. Data were visualized on a graphics terminal. In contrast to current views, which state that there is no prominent layer IV in the motor cortex of the rat, our method of analysis revealed a genuine layer IV consisting of densely packed small neurons.
