Deciphering Pyramidal Neuron Diversity: Delineating Perceptual Functions of Projection-Defined Neuronal Types (Neuron)

Axonal projection patterns are increasingly recognized as a defining feature for neuronal classification. How could such structural distinctions be linked to functions? In this issue of Neuron, Tang and Higley (2020) disambiguate behavior-level functions of two projection-defined subtypes of cortical projection neurons.
