title: Short-axon neurons with two axon-like processes in the visual cortex of the cat. A Golgi study.
abstract: In the visual cortex (areas 17, 18 and 19) of adult cats and a 40-day-old kitten, short-axon cells with two axon-like processes are described. These neurons belong to different cell types (spineless stellates of layers II/III and IV, fusiform cells of layers III, IV and V, and a large multipolar spineless cell of layer III). The axon-like processes present the same morphological characteristics as single axons of the corresponding neuronal type.
