Functional connections among barrel neurons increase in response to stimulus frequencies at 8Hz and 12Hz, in which response one (R1) corresponds to 8Hz and response two (R2) corresponds to 12Hz. A~B) presents the functional connections (blue lines) among the barrel neurons (green symbols) under the conditions of stimulus frequencies at 8Hz (A) and 12Hz (B), respectively. Scale bar is 20μm. C) shows the percentages of functionally connected neurons in barrel networks during R1 (8Hz input) and R2 (12Hz). D) illustrates the percentage of functional connections for each neuron with others in R1 (8Hz input) and R2 (12Hz). Asterisk presents p<0.05 in paied student’st-test.
