| Oct 10, 2017 at 17:36 | comment | added | Hans-Peter Stricker | No matter if you say "vertical" or "intracolumnar" resp. "horizontal" or "intralaminar": this is only a trend, but there will be outliers. | |
| Oct 10, 2017 at 17:07 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | I'd say it's also very unclear what you mean by "preferably": biology does what it does, regardless of what is preferable to you. :) | |
| Oct 10, 2017 at 17:06 | comment | added | Bryan Krause♦ | I wouldn't rely on that one paper: people still talk and think in terms of columns. I fully agree that they are not as discrete as people once thought, but it still makes sense to talk about intracolumnar units. I totally disagree that it isn't clear that gyri aren't really specialized functional units: there are several dissimilar functions that are held within gyri, and the boundaries of cortical areas often do not stick within a gyrus. This is very clear on any map of the human cortex. And for "horizontal" I was referring to use in the literature rather than how you used it. | |
| Oct 10, 2017 at 17:01 | comment | added | Hans-Peter Stricker | I specified "horizontal" by saying "in the same (or neighboring) layer", i.e. "intralaminar". | |
| Oct 10, 2017 at 16:58 | comment | added | Hans-Peter Stricker | How do we know that gyri aren't "really specialized functional units"? We even don't know it unequivocally for cortical columns: see The cortical column: a structure without a function (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1569491) | |
| Oct 10, 2017 at 16:55 | comment | added | Hans-Peter Stricker | That's why I put "intragyric" into quotation marks. | |
| Oct 10, 2017 at 16:54 | comment | added | Hans-Peter Stricker | I guess, it's easier to connect inside a gyrus than across gyri. But I may be wrong. | |
