Population bursts in a modular neural network as a mechanism for synchronized activity in KNDy neurons
Fig 5
The number of cluster events and the degree of synchronization increases with an increase in the intercluster coupling.
A: Histograms showing the number of events in which 1, 2, …, 5 clusters fired together during simulations with 40 s duration. The interCC is increased moving from top to bottom. B: Average activity time courses of the 5 clusters during 5 s of simulation time, corresponding to the histograms with tan shading in the previous panel. The number of CEs is shown on the right. C: (left) Mean number of CEs, along with standard deviation, for the range of interCC values explored in the histograms and over simulations with 40 s duration. (right) The mean fraction of synchronization events (events with 3 or more clusters active) in which all 5 clusters are active, NCE5/NSE, along with standard deviation. IntraCC = 60%.
