Contribution of apical and basal dendrites to orientation encoding in mouse V1 L2/3 pyramidal neurons

In vivo laser ablation of dendrites in single L2/3 pyramidal neurons reveals that neuronal orientation tuning in V1 is robust to loss of dendritic input. Orientation tuning functions remain unchanged following apical dendrite ablation and change only slightly upon loss of two primary basal dendrites...
