Comparison of properties of uEPSPs from either SS or pyramidal cells onto glutamatergic neurons and interneurons in layer IV of somatosensory cortex

Postsynaptic neuron	Amplitude (mV)	τrise (ms)	τdecay (ms)	CV	No. of pairs
FS interneurons	1.1 ± 0.4	1.5 ± 0.2	10.6 ± 2.0	0.6 ± 0.1	9
Spiny (SS or pyramidal)	0.7 ± 0.2	1.3 ± 0.1	11.5 ± 0.6	0.6 ± 0.1	7
RSNP interneurons	1.0 ± 0.3	1.7 ± 0.5	12.3 ± 2.4	0.5 ± 0.3	5

CV, Coefficient of variation for uEPSP amplitude. No statistically significant difference between the any two groups was found for any parameter.
