The probability of finding reciprocal synaptic connections between pairs of neurons measured experimentally was not different compared with the expected probability of reciprocal connections in a network with randomly assigned connectivity. All values of measured reciprocity were inside the confidence intervals computed for the neuron type pairing. The confidence interval denotes the range of values for which measured reciprocity would not be significantly different from the expected reciprocity (P > 0.05) given the limited sample size.
