Somatosensory thalamocortical and intracortical inputs to layers 4 and 6 of S1. (A-D) Photostimulation of the ventralposterior medial nucleus (VPm; A-B) or primary somatosensory barrel cortex (SI; C-D). Plots illustrate averaged mean EPSCs. White boxed regions in C and D illustrate direct response areas of recorded neurons (E) Mean area evoking EPSCs in the thalamus and the mean total evoked current from VPm in layer 6 normalized to that of layer 4. (F) Mean percent of total current elicited from VPm and layers 2-6 in either the layer 4 neuron (black) or the layer 6 neuron (grey).
