Extended Data Fig. 8: Visual selectivity is correlated with synaptic strength.
From: Cortical response selectivity derives from strength in numbers of synapses
a, Relationship between spine selectivity (vector strength) for direction (top) and orientation (bottom) and spine head volume (blue), PSD area (red), and simulated spine-some voltage attenuation (grey). Above each plot, Spearman’s correlation coefficient and significance (one-sided test) is shown. b, Same as in a, but for spines with SNR >3. Note that correlation significance persists and for some comparisons, the correlation magnitude is larger.
