Basal dendrites of layer-III pyramidal neurons do not scale with changes in cortical magnification factor in macaque primary visual cortex

Neurons in the mammalian primary visual cortex (V1) are systematically arranged across the cortical surface according to the location of their receptive fields, forming a visuotopic (or retinotopic) map. Within this map, the foveal visual field is represented by a large cortical surface area, with i...
