Fig. 4: Interpretation of overall synaptic connections by network models.
a A histogram of the numbers of GC dendrites included in individual glomeruli of the network model. An averaged histogram of 50 configurations is shown in this figure. b The PI of ID numbers of GC dendrites included in individual glomeruli. Averaged values of 50 configurations in each connection model are shown. c Experimental data showing percentages of GFP-positive GC somas (open columns) and glomeruli (orange columns) including GFP-positive GC dendrites (N = 3–8 mice, 15 mice in total, 3–5 images per mouse). Data are presented as mean ± s.e.m. and gray circles represent individual data points. d Fractions of glomeruli including dendrites arising from 30% GCs with consecutive ID numbers. Values are shown as averages of 50 configurations in each connection model. In (b) and (d), results in severer level of preferential or avoidance model are shown in lighter colors. e Cumulative distributions of the RtdT/G ( = NtdT/NGFP) in the random (green), mild preferential (magenta), moderate preferential (light magenta), mild avoidance (cyan), and moderate avoidance (light cyan) connection models. The x-axis is in log scale. Two groups of GCs are selected so as to be equivalent to the experimental labeling by different times of double injection as indicated in the left panels, in terms of overlaps. Color solid lines show the model results and dotted black lines show data of shuffled pairs. f Comparisons of distribution broadness (\(\bar{\triangle \hat{\sigma }}\)) between model results and shuffled data.
