Figure 11. Schematic representation of synaptic connectivity of cortical layer II/III interneurons.

Figure 11

Simplified diagram illustrating the synaptic connectivity patterns of PV, SST and VIP INs in layer II/III of the neocortex. Black lines indicate neuronal efferents with open circles representing synaptic terminals. The weight of black lines represents the relative prevalence of the indicated connection, with larger lines representing more prevalent connections. Dashed lines indicate output to INs of the same class. Note that PV efferents are somatic targeting, whereas SST and VIP INs typically synapse onto the dendrites of their postsynaptic targets.
