Popis: The preference of cells in mouse primary visual cortex are thought to be randomly distributed in a salt-and-pepper map, in contrast to the smooth cortical maps observed in higher mammals. Here the authors show that excitatory cells in mouse primary visual cortex are spatially clustered, resembling a degraded version of the organization seen in higher mammals.
