Spatial organisation and quantitative features of cortico-cortical neurons in area 17 that project to area 21a of cat visual cortex were investigated. We used the HRP technique and two-dimensional reconstruction from serial sections of brain. Pattern of distribution of labelled cells in some regions of areas 17 and 18, on the lateral and medial surface of the brain were analysed. The data about cluster organisation of cortico-cortical neurones, localisation, layer distribution and density of neurons were obtained.
