Extended Data Fig. 3: Spine-soma functional similarity is uncorrelated with synaptic strength.

From: Cortical response selectivity derives from strength in numbers of synapses

Extended Data Fig. 3

Relationships between the difference in direction preference (top), ocular dominance (middle), and tuning correlation (bottom) with synapse spine head volume (blue), PSD area (red), and simulated spine-soma voltage attenuation (grey). Above each plot, correlation magnitude and p-value is shown. For direction preference difference, Circular-Linear correlation coefficient was calculated. For ocular dominance and tuning correlation, Spearman’s correlation coefficient was calculated. All significance tests are one-sided.
