Comparison of the relative lateral distance of L2/3 interneurons to their presynaptic 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 | 16 ± 3 (n = 11) | 50 ± 12 (n = 14) | 107.0 | 0.106 |
| NGC | 16 ± 3 (n = 22) | 41 ± 6 (n = 29) | 488.0 | 0.001 |
| BTC | 17 ± 2 (n = 30) | 44 ± 9 (n = 22) | 194.5 | 0.012 |
| BPC | 17 ± 3 (n = 21) | — | — | — |
| BaC | 17 ± 3 (n = 26) | — | — | — |
| DBC | 17 ± 3 (n = 22) | — | — | — |
| ChC | 17 ± 4 (n = 13) | — | — | — |
Note: No significant difference in the relative lateral distance to their presynaptic L1 interneurons among seven different interneuron group innervated by SBCs or 3 different interneurons innervated by ENGCs (P > 0.05; Mann–Whitney rank-sum tests).
