We have reconstructed the laminar pattern of rat primary motor cortex (Fr1)
using a computerized analysis system based on the so-called 'optical
dissector'. Data were visualized on a graphics terminal. In contrast to
current views, which state that there is no prominent layer IV in the motor
cortex of the rat, our method of analysis revealed a genuine layer IV
consisting of densely packed small neurons.
