Excitatory neurons and parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory neurons received the largest evoked EPSPs from thalamic input, with VPM input dominating in layer 4 and POm input dominating in layer 5A.

Quoted textsource-backed
We found that excitatory neurons and parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory neurons received the largest EPSPs, dominated by VPM input to L4 and POm input to L5A.
Claim 3cell type specific input strengthsupports2019Source 1DOIPubMed

Somatostatin-expressing inhibitory neurons received very little input from either VPM or POm in any layer.

Quoted textsource-backed
In contrast, somatostatin-expressing inhibitory neurons received very little input from either pathway in any layer.

Vasoactive intestinal peptide-expressing inhibitory neurons received an intermediate level of excitatory input with less apparent layer specificity.
