Extended Data Fig. 5: Spine-soma functional similarity is uncorrelated with synaptic strength for spines with high SNR.

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

Extended Data Fig. 5

Relationships between the difference in orientation preference, direction preference, ocular dominance, and tuning correlation with spine head volume (blue), PSD area (red), and simulated spine-soma voltage attenuation (grey). Spines included were required to have an SNR >3. Above each plot, correlation magnitude and p-value is shown. For orientation and direction preference differences, Circular-Linear correlation coefficient was calculated. For ocular dominance and tuning correlation, Spearman’s correlation coefficient was calculated. All significance tests are one-sided.
