[Spatial organization and interneuronal relations in various areas of the neocortex in Cetacea].
The data on pyramidal neurons joining in the parietal and temporal areas of the dolphin neocortex by means of apical dendrites fasciculi are presented. The fasciculi also contain dendrites of spindle-like and stellate cells. The vertical fasciculi of the dendrites unite neurons of the layer V and of the sublayer III2. In the sublayer III1, after dichotonic division of the apical dendrites, fasciculi of the second order are formed, to them the dendrites of the pyramidal neurons of the sublayer III1 and the layer II join. Several forms of the interneuronal contacts have been revealed: axo-dendritic, axo-spinous and dendro-dendritic. Synaptic complexes of the converged and divergent types have been shown. A suggestion is made on formation of larger neuronal modules++, having common afferent entrance and demonstrating selectivity to the stimulus properties.
