Dendritic bundles formed by layer VI pyramidal cells in the monkey frontal association cortex.
The apical dendrites of pyramidal cells whose somata are located in layer VI were found to form bundles across all cortical layers in the prefrontal and cingulate cortex of macaque monkeys. Each bundle consisted of about 20 cells and was 50 microns wide with a 30 microns space between adjacent bundles.
