Unitary inhibitory responses mediated by a fast-spiking basket cell. A, Camera lucida reconstruction of a synaptically connected fast-spiking basket cell (a, blue cell body and axon, green dendrites)–spiny stellate neuron (b, red cell body and dendrites, black axon) pair. Gray shading, Barrel structure. Scale bar, 20 μm. Yellow dots indicate putative contacts between axons of presynaptic fast-spiking cell and dendrites of postsynaptic spiny stellate cell as identified from 100× microscopic images. B1, Unitary synaptic currents elicited by directly evoked single APs in the presynaptic FS cell. Top trace, APs in FS cell; bottom trace, uIPSCs in spiny stellate cell. Vhold = −60 mV. B2, Histogram showing amplitude distribution of uIPSCs in B1. The solid red line indicates a Gaussian fit to the uIPSC amplitude distribution.
