Evidence for the complementary organization of callosal and thalamic connections within rat somatosensory cortex

We provide evidence that callosal projections within the primary somatosensory cortex of the rat are distributed in a detailed pattern which is complementary to the pattern of specific thalamocortical projections to this cortical region.
