CIL:40263, Mus musculus, pyramidal cell, stellate cell, astrocyte of the cerebral cortex. In Cell Image Library

Serial electron micrograph series through layers 1-4 of the primary visual cortex of the adult mouse. Reconstruction encompasses 450 X 350 X 52 um volume of tissue and contains ~ 1500 cell bodies. This same area of tissue was functionally characterized for orientation and direction selectivity using two photon calcium imaging. The reconstruction is also available at:
