Document Summary
Two main types of neurons in the cortex, pyramidal neurons (they are the typical cortical neuron, soma is shaped like a pyramid. These have basal dendrites, apical dendrites, and long axons: granule/ stellate neurons (intrinsic) as they mainly distribute information to the other layers, much smaller, rounder cells. Prob pools information from different layers. hemisphere and even to the other hemisphere. Cortico cortical connections cells commissural fibers: projection cells, association fibers, 2. Inferior longituincal temporal and occipital: extreme capsule frontal and superior temporal, uncinate - orbital frontal with anterior temporal, superior longitudinal frontal and parietal, occipito-frontal frontal and occipital, projection fiber pathways. Important language pathways: extreme capsule, arcuate, superior longitudinal: external capsule: motor cortex to putamen (unidirectional) It is neo cortex: from v1 there are a series of hierachirical visual areas (v2, v3, v4) ventral, brodmann areas to know, 17, 6 and 4, 3,1, and 2, 44,45 and 47/12 stream, dorsal stream.
