To rule out that the specific segregation of inputs was caused by their uneven distribution around recorded NG2 cells rather than a specific subcellular targeting, we analyzed the distribution of puncta surrounding these cells.
The major findings were, that there is a greater segregation of the inputs from the fingers/hand within the cuneate compared with input form the toes/foot within the gracile.
For map construction of LG 3, the segregation data were input and calculated with the algorithm for cross pollination (CP) population type codes in JoinMap 4, and genetic distances were calculated by Haldane's mapping function.
In fact, strong SAC SAC connectivity is critical for the developing visual system, because it underlies propagation of the retinal waves that pattern the segregation of binocular input in retinorecipient areas such as the superior colliculus and lateral geniculate nucleus (Ford et al., 2012; Ackman and Crair, 2014; Burbridge et al., 2014).
Segregation of ICcl inputs on different branches of the dendritic tree may be important for generating nonlinear responses within frequency channels, while maintaining linear frequency integration [63].
The resulting segregation of prefrontal inputs could enable the parallel processing of different information types in prefrontal cortex.
A key feature of the LGN is the segregation of retinal inputs into different cellular layers characterized by their differential responses to red-green (RG) color (L/M opponent), blue-yellow (BY) color (S-cone opponent) and achromatic (Ach) contrast.
Interestingly, injections of H-proline in 1 eye after 6 months of BD from birth showed that the segregation of geniculate inputs is disrupted in area 17 but not in area 18 (Swindale 1988), indicating that the development of ocular dominance columns is more dependent on visually driven activity in area 17 than in area 18.
One key feature of the LGN is the segregation of retinal inputs into different layers: the retinal parvocellular (P -cells P -cellsto dorsal layers 3–6, whereas the magnocellular (M)-cell projection projecto to ventral layers 1 andorsalith further celayerses forming the koniocellular layers of the intra-laminar regions.
Therefore, vermal areas harbor proprioceptive pathways which are segregated from BPN inputs at the cellular level; this segregation would not be evident with traditional neuro-anatomical techniques.
