Intrinsic circuitry: Synapses involving the local axon collaterals of corticocortical projection neurons in the mouse primary somatosensory cortex

Pyramidal neurons in the mouse SmI cortex were labeled by the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) injected into the ipsilateral MsI cortex. Terminals of the local axon collaterals of these neurons (CC terminals) were identified in SmI, and their distribution and synaptic connectivity were examined. To avoid confusion, terminals in SmI cortex labeled by the anterograde transport of HRP injected into MsI were eliminated by lesioninduced degeneration. Lesions of MsI were made 24 hours after the injection of HRP; postlesion survival time was 4 days.
