Volume fraction of the mouse HLS1 cortical column per layer at light microscopy

Data on the volume occupied by the different elements (neuropil, neurons, glia and blood vessels) will be used to complete microanatomical data for the model of the mouse somatosensory cortex and to help the functional interpretation of the data obtained from in vivo physiological experiments. Volume fraction has been determined in the mouse hindlimb region of the somatosensory cortex (HLS1) using light microscopy in the following cortical layers: I, II, III, IV, Va, Vb and VI.
