    "Fig. 7. A,B: Neurolucida reconstructions of superficial and deep subicular [pyramidal] cells {Sub EC-Projecting Pyramidal}. Somata and dendrites are shown in black. Dendritic spines are not drawn. Axons are shown in gray. Axonal varicosities and axonal extensions are not drawn. Local collaterals tended to be longer in the cell layer for superficially located cells. Deep cells tended to have axon collaterals that ascended close to the primary dendrite. All cells shown had axon collaterals that reached into the deep white matter, and in some cells, there were collaterals that crossed obliquely back across the cell layer toward CA1 or presubiculum. For this reason, all cells were considered to be projection cells."

    Notes
    Related classes: SUB (+)331-CA1 1100 back-projecting pyramidal neurons Witter email correspondence: "Menno's recommendation is that we separate the subicular pyramids into two distinct classes, one projecting to EC and the other to CA1. The logic is weak, but here goes the argument: there's is enough evidence to define 2 classes based on the input connectivity anyway. The more superficial pyramids (within PC but towards ML) have longer & thinner dendrites that receive input from L3 EC pyramidal cells, and these cells do NOT project to EC. In contrast, the deeper subicular pyramids (within PC but towards PL) do NOT receive EC L3 perforant path projections, and they DO project to EC (L5+6). The less clear cut assumption is that the former subicular pyramids form the (less abundant) back-projection to CA1, and the latter cells do not. The reasoning is that in ALL extra-hippocampal projections subicular neurons exclusively target ONE region and do not collateralize to multiple regions. Moreover, the two pyramidal subtypes also correspond to the bursting / regular firing phenotype. The evidence for the above is in Witter's paper in the subiculum special issue (2006?). He gave permission to quote him as "personal communication."
