Orange color indicates significant linear correlations (Bonferroni-corrected p < 0.05). <b>(B)</b> Slopes of linear fits relating to average excitatory weights in each slice of . <b>(C)</b> Relationship between inhibitory weight and synaptic distance within networks. The weight of inhibitory synapses (mean across development) is plotted against the distance between the corresponding neurons in a representative sample network ( mm, ; ).
