Cortical Layer 6b Persistent Subplate Neurons Reciprocally Connect Sensorimotor Areas and Inversely Reflect Somatosensory Engagement
Roksana Khalid, Débora Masini, Andrea Locarno, Olga Netsyk, Johan Lorentz, Christian Broberger
The paper identifies L6bCtgf neurons in the cortex and shows they form specific connections, are electrically diverse, and are active during task engagement, with paradoxical silencing during somatosensory exploration.
