Similarities in inhibitory synaptic activity among female pyramidal neurons across different subregions of the insular cortex. A, B Representative spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic currents (sIPSCs) recorded at − 70 mV in female aIC and pIC. C, D On average, ihibitory events are comparable in amplitude and frequency in both aIC and pIC. E, F Log-normal curve fittings with confidence intervals (± CI) reveal higher proportion of smaller events in pIC compared to aIC. Data are presented as box-and-whisker plots (minimum, maximum, median) and analyzed via Mann–Whitney U test. P-values < 0.05 are depicted in the graphs. The sample size for aIC female was 15/10, and for pIC female was 19/11
