How many different dendritic trees do these synapse to on average? How far laterally do these connections range? What is the nature and number of dentritic-dendritic connections in interneurons? in output neurons? Are there significant connectivity differences in different layers of the cortex? etc... I'm particularly interested in any recent publications which give numbers or reasonable approximations as opposed to just saying "many" or "far reaching" etc. Thanks, Frank Boyle
