Clustering of TC synapses along the dendrites of an L4 star pyramid neuron. A, Volumetric reconstruction of a barrel neuron recorded and filled intracellularly (cell 6). B, Cumulative density of the distances between putative TC synapses in cell 6 (green) and mean of 5000 Monte Carlo simulations of TC synapses randomly placed along the dendrites using the measured somatic proximity function (black). C, Actual median spacing of TC synapses for this cell (line) compared with the distribution of the medians obtained by simulation (histogram).
