Does the pre-synaptic neuron location in a cortical map influences the spatial position of its synapses in the dendrite of the downstream neuron?

Hi,

It is not a well-documented issue. But for the supine position check this article:

A Reappraisal of Adult Thoracic Surface Anatomy. MIRJALILI et. all. Clin Anat. 25:827–834 (2012)

Best wishes

due to the position of the trunk, spirometric changes has been reported. Thus surface anatomy of the thorax may be affected by these changes. (such as intervertebral discs)
