[The morphological characteristics of the callosal neurons of the first auditory area of the cortex (AI) in the cat].
Cortical stratification of callosal neurons in the primary auditory cortex (AI) of cat was studied by means of horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Two main groups of callosal neurons were revealed. The first group comprising 60% of all AI callosal neurons consisted predominantly of layer III large pyramidal neurons. Average area of these pyramidal neuron perikaryon profiles was 261.8 +/- 8.8 microns2. The number of HRP-labelled callosal neurons in layer III was 22% of all cells in this layer. The second group comprising 27% of all AI callosal neurons consisted mainly of large cells of layers V and VI which could not be classified as pyramidal neurons. Average area of these nonpyramidal neuron perikaryon profiles was 250.3 +/- 8.4 microns 2. In layer I callosal neurons were not revealed, in layers II and IV accordingly 6% and 7% of AI callosal neurons were located.
