MTF hierarchical congruity analysis. The 2 main laminar connection patterns (layer IV to layer II/III; layer II/III to layer V) were analyzed. For each neuron in a penetration, the common passband between the 2 layers was computed. The value was then normalized by either the passband of the source layer (Coverage) or by the target layer (Overlap). If multiple comparisons in a penetration were available, the mean was computed. Figure insets depict possible MTF configurations. A: temporal MTF congruity for layer IV to layer II/III. Values along diagonal indicate that in many penetrations the passbands for the 2 layers were similar. B: temporal MTF congruity for layer II/III to layer V. Values below the diagonal cannot be explained by a simple feedforward model. C and D: spectral MTF congruity for layer IV to layer II/III and for layer II/III to layer V.
