Remodeling of inhibitory synaptic connections in developing ferret visual cortex

Table 1 Summary of the data set on which this report is based

Group	N	Stimulated sites	Area (mm²)	EPSCs	IPSCs
P20 to P22	7	921.3 ± 168.0	1.41 ± 0.28	185.4 ± 40.6	136.7 ± 6.7
P30 to P35	9	1,030.2 ± 155.3	1.78 ± 0.19	363.7 ± 69.6	338.0 ± 68.3
P36 to P40	19	1,133.3 ± 115.4	1.81 ± 0.29	278.4 ± 45.8	213.0 ± 29.7
Mature	29	920.3 ± 137.9	1.47 ± 0.24	113.2 ± 14.1	76.8 ± 12.5
Total	64	1,001 ± 49.1	1.61 ± 0.12	235.2 ± 42.5	191.1 ± 29.3

The average number of locations stimulated, and the average area encompassing those sites, were similar for all ages, but the numbers of sites that when stimulated evoked excitatory post-synaptic currents EPSCs and inhibitory post-synaptic current (IPSCs) changed significantly. All numbers are means ± standard error of the mean.
