Term: narrow field vertical cell

Definition: Narrow field vertical cells are a SC class of cells which include vertical fusiform cells, pyramidal cells and inverted pyramidal cells. They are distributed across several of the SC layers (see Table 1, page 407). For morphological details, see the definitions of subclasses and types of this class. Collator note: we assumed this class of neurons as projection neurons, because at least several subpopulations project to visually related areas. See Sefton et al., 2005; Mason and Groos, 1981; Mackay-Sim et al. 1983; Okoyama and Kudo, 1987).
