DESCRIPTION:Marcel Oberlaender\, Computational Neuroanatomy\, Max Plank In
 stitute For Biological Cybernetics\, Tübingen\, Germany  \nPyramidal tra
 ct neurons (PTs) represent the major output cell type of the neocortex. Ho
 w intracortical activity patterns are transformed into cortical output and
  whether the output is related to the long-range targets is unknown. We co
 mbine injections of mono- and multi-trans-synaptic retrograde tracers with
  in vivo recordings\, morphological reconstructions and computational mode
 lling to assess relationships between the structure\, function and subcort
 ical target of identified PTs. We find that disjoint output channels of PT
 s are able to act in parallel to extract information from sensory stimuli 
 that is most relevant for their respective subcortical targets.\n
