Abstract
Layer VIa is recognizable by its densely packed population of small and mediumsized nerve cells (Fig. 33). In layer VIb the number of cell bodies is slightly reduced, many of the perikarya appear larger than those of layer VIa, and some pyramids have a broad cytoplasmic rim. The perikarya look pyramid- or pear-shaped, or even fusiform. The long axis of most of the perikarya is tilted and the proximal apical dendrite gradually becomes vertical.
