Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="author" id="abs0005"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <sec> <p id="spar0005">The stratified motor cortex is variously thought to either lack or contain layer 4. Yamawaki <italic>et al.</italic> described a functional layer 4 in mouse motor cortex with properties and connections similar to layer 4 in sensory areas. Their results bolster a theoretical framework suggesting all primary cortical areas are equivalent.</p> </sec> </abstract>
