Table 24.

Calculated convergence of interneurons onto a CA1 pyramidal cell by layer and dendrite type, in terms of number of synapses received. For some interneuron types, no data were available but the likely locations of their synapses are marked with an asterisk. Other interneuron types are not shown in this table. The ’Total Available’ column values are based on the synapse counts on an average CA1 pyramidal cell from Megias et al. (2001). The ’Total Claimed’ column gives the counts for the presynaptic cell types we have calculated in this assessment, and the ’Total Remaining’ column gives the number of synapses remaining on the average pyramidal cell after subtracting the estimated innervation calculated in this assessment.
