Figure 3. sPSCs in neocortex and hippocampus.

Two positions are illustrated by the placement of the recording electrodes in the photomontage of two IR-DIC images of a parasagittal slice. Barrels can be identified in somatosensory cortex (darker spots) and the cell layers in hippocampus (scale bar 100 μm). The sequences of the recording from a pyramidal cell in layer II of somatosensory cortex (A) and CA1 of hippocampus (B). The cPDFs of f₁ (C) and amplitudes (D) for the neocortical (black line) and hippocampal neurone (grey line). The average sPSC time courses are illustrated in the inset.
