across layers 40.6 17 21.1 7 8.4 65.9
layer 1 0 1.8 10.4 4.3 5.2 7
layer 2/3 20.7 7.9 43.7 10.5 16.8 45.4
layer 4 50.4 21 27.6 4.8 6.5 77.8
layer 5 54.3 24.9 10.4 3.4 4.1 83.3
layer 6 51.3 20.4 7 11.7 8.2 79.9

Note that the estimated percentages are based upon comparing the densities of marker-positive cells with the densities of GABAergic cells described in Table 1. The last columns of the tables, [PV, SOM, VIP(%)], indicate the summed percentages of GABAergic cells positive for PV, SOM or VIP.
