Connectivity of slow PSPs from S1 cells to five followers. Data combined from all subareas of S1. (A) Distribution of excitatory (+), inhibitory (−), and unconnected (0) S1 neurons to each follower, and in all followers combined. (B) Net connectivity (average of three measures per cell) from the S1 cluster to follower. Boxes show upper and lower quartiles. The line within the box is the median, and × is the mean. Outliers not shown but were included in all calculations. Dashed line at zero. Note differences in net connectivity. (C) Amplitude of the slow EPSPs in each of the followers. (D) Amplitude of slow IPSPs in each follower. Note that there were no slow IPSPs recorded from B4/B5.
