Interneuronal network model of theta-nested fast oscillations predicts differential effects of heterogeneity, gap junctions and short term depression for hyperpolarizing versus shunting inhibition
Fig 9
A. Theta drive (bottom trace) synchronizes homogeneous networks provided there is a minimum conduction delay. B. Full heterogeneity disrupts synchrony. C. Adding physiological levels of gap junctions restores synchrony. D. As hyperpolarizing synapses depress during the theta cycle, synchrony is lost. E. Shunting synapses do not synchronize the fully heterogeneous system even at early phases in the presence of synaptic depression and gap junctions.
