	Nb+/VAChT+a	Nb+/GAD+b	Nb+/VAChT−/GAD−c	Cell group statistic
Morphology
Size (μm)d	24.32 ± 2.50 (11)b,c	16.34 ± 0.87 (28)a	17.42 ± 1.19 (30)a	4.96 (2, 65)**
Physiology
Spike width 1 (ms)e	0.55 ± 0.04 (11)b	0.42 ± 0.02 (29)a	0.45 ± 0.02 (33)	4.91 (2, 70)**
Spike width 2 (ms)f	1.71 ± 0.17 (11)b,c	1.22 ± 0.06 (29)a	1.29 ± 0.08 (33)a	5.26 (2, 70)**

Mean ± SEM values (with number of cells) are presented and compared by one-way ANOVA [F (df)], with main effect of cell group indicated by ** (p < 0.01).

^a–cPost-hoc Bonferroni-corrected pairwise differences in means are indicated between groups by corresponding letters.

^dAccording to long axis of cell body measured in whole cells (n = 69).

^eMeasured at base of first zero crossing.

^fMeasured at base of second zero crossing.
