GAD⁺ neurons surrounded by PNs are larger, on average, than those lacking PNs. A, Photographs of GAD⁺ neurons of a range of sizes surrounded by (arrows) or lacking (arrowheads) PNs. Scale bar, 10 μm. B, A composite plot showing all GAD⁺ neurons from eight IC sections, similar to Figure 2, but with colored markers representing only GAD⁺ neurons surrounded by PNs. Smaller gray markers represent GAD⁺ neurons lacking PNs. Note that many GAD⁺ neurons with PNs are in the largest size category, with somatic profile areas >275 μm² (purple markers). C, Box and whisker plot showing the range and median of soma areas for GAD⁺ neurons without (magenta) and with (green) PNs. GAD⁺ neurons with PNs are larger on average than GAD⁺ neurons lacking PNs. ***p < 0.001.
