Sensory deprivation causes motif-specific changes in inhibitory input numbers also in spared barrel-related columns.

<p>Absolute number of locations in the indicated source layers (rows) giving rise to IPSCs in L2/3 pyramidal neurons in barrel-related columns representing intact (left, <i>n</i> = 13, column C), spared (spared, <i>n</i> = 12, column C), or deprived whiskers (right, <i>n</i> = 23, columns A, B, D, and E; same data as in <a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.1001798#pbio-1001798-g006" target="_blank">Figure 6</a>, center left). Colored columns represent group averages. Red columns mark significant differences between the spared barrel-related column in deprived cortex and the comparison groups indicated in dark yellow (<i>p</i><0.05, <i>t</i> test).
