Extended Data Fig. 6

a, Relationship between cPSD area and estimated cIsyn; data were fit with a line of slope 1.04 ± 0.27. b, Comparison of estimated Isyn for PSDs with simple morphologies and complex morphologies (asterisks in Extended Data Fig. 3); means ± s.d. indicated; P value obtained by non-parametric Mann–Whitney test. c, Relationship between estimated Isyn and corresponding dendritic spine volume; data were fit with a line of slope 0.77 ± 0.32. d, Relationship between estimated Isyn and the length of the corresponding dendritic spine necks. Lines were fit using linear regression; 95% confidence intervals for estimated Isyn are indicated with error bars in a, c, d. a, c, d, Shown are the correlation coefficients (r) and P values of two-tailed, non-parametric Spearman correlations.
