ABSTRACT
The neocortex mediates information processing through highly organized circuitry that contains various neuron types. Distinct populations of projection neurons in different cortical regions and layers make specific connections and participate in distinct physiological functions. Herein, with the fluorescence micro-optical sectioning tomography (fMOST) and transgenetic mice that targeted intratelencephalic (IT) and pyramidal tract (PT) neurons at specific layers, we dissected the long-range connectome of pyramidal neurons in six subregions of the sensorimtor cortex. The distribution of the input neurons indicated that IT and PT neurons in the same region received information from similar regions, while the neurons in different subregions received from the preferred neuron populations. Both the input and projection areas of these six subregions showed the transverse and longitudinal correspondence in the cortico-cortical, cortico-thalamic, and cortico-striatal circuits, which indicated that the connections were topologically organized. This study provides a comprehensive resource on the anatomical connections of cortical circuits.
