Figure 3. LR cells are the dominant cell type in layers 2/3 of the granular retrosplenial cortex. A. Representative anatomy of the RSG and locations of a subset of patched neurons. The left panel shows the location of the
retrosplenial cortex superior to the corpus callosum. RSD and RSG are
distinct regions within the retrosplenial cortex with RSD being more
superior and lateral and RSG inferior and medial. Right panel shows a
DIC image of a retrosplenial mouse brain slice with RSD and RSG
separated by a black dotted line. The layers are demarcated by white
dotted lines. Small purple triangles, large green triangles, and orange
circles denote representative patch locations of roughly one-half of LR,
RS, and FS cells patched in this study, respectively. B.
Bar graph of the percentage of each neuron type patched in each layer of
RSG. LR cells are the most prevalent cell type in each layer. UNC stands
for unclassified – this group consists of other cell types within this
region and neurons that were unable to be classified into one of the
other three groups based on their physiological and intrinsic
properties.
