Best bet is to do a medline search. There is a tremendous amount of
detail in the apparently simple figures you ask for. Get the primary
research (and be prepared for a lot!). One which describes the
architecture of the cortex is:
Braitenberg , V. ; Schuez , A.
Cortex: Statistics and Geometry
of Neuronal Connectivity
ISBN: 3-540-63816-4 Springer
Another good publisher for loads of these types of books is Wiley
