Astrocytes Optimize the Synaptic Transmission of Information
Figure 8
The information transmission (not normalized here, but at a fixed presynaptic spiking frequency of 5 Hz) is shown as a function of the astrocytic feedback at various baseline synaptic transmission probabilities P and a fixed number (2) of active zones.
The vertical line denotes the value of α which corresponds to the experimental tripartite synapse.
