Comparison of the depth of L2/3 interneurons innervated by SBCs and ENGCs
| Postsynaptic interneurons | L2/3I innervated by SBCs (μm) | L2/3I innervated by ENGCs (μm) |
U and P value (M–W rank sum) |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MaC | 383 ± 44 (n = 11) | 247 ± 17 (n = 14) | 32.0 | 0.015 |
| NGC | 317 ± 18 (n = 22) | 213 ± 10 (n = 29) | 132.5 | <0.001 |
| BTC | 322 ± 20 (n = 30) | 212 ± 12 (n = 22) | 551.0 | <0.001 |
| BPC | 367 ± 29 (n = 21) | — | — | — |
| BaC | 327 ± 26 (n = 26) | — | — | — |
| DBC | 355 ± 22 (n = 22) | — | — | — |
| ChC | 283 ± 34 (n = 13) | — | — | — |
Note: No significant difference in the depth among seven different interneuron group innervated by SBCs or 3 different interneurons innervated by ENGCs (P > 0.05; Mann–Whitney rank-sum tests).
