The synaptic organization of layer 6 circuits reveals inhibition as a major output of a neocortical sublamina

JE Frandolig, CJ Matney, K Lee, J Kim, M Chevée… - Cell reports, 2019 - cell.com
The canonical cortical microcircuit has principally been defined by interlaminar excitatory
connections among the six layers of the neocortex. However, excitatory neurons in layer 6 …
