Thalamus geniculate nucleus (medial) principal neuron

Current revision (unreviewed)

Name:	Thalamus geniculate nucleus (medial) principal neuron
Description:	Principle neuron in ventral division of medial geniculate nucleu characterized by strongly tufted dendrites, with overall discoid dendritic fields extending dors-ventrally and antero-posteriorly on average of 200 um. Neurons are arranged in parallel laminae, seen in transverse or horizontal sections of the pars lateralis. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1261345/?page=8 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1261345/?page=8
