Wire length economy (ε) of spiny and basket cell intracortical axon arbors (ε_AXON = L_MST/L_AXON, where L_AXON is total axon arbor length based on direct distances between boutons) compared with path length optimized star graphs (ε_STAR = L_MST/L_STAR) and MST with additional vertices from axon bifurcations or nodes (ε_MSTnodes = L_MST/L_MSTnodes).
