Frequency of population oscillation for different network sizes <i>N</i>.

Abstract

We examine the effect of increasing both system size and number of active OP populations on the oscillation frequency. In both cases, the frequency decreases monotonically. The frequency of interest may also be that based on the time between peaks of active populations (e.g., the time between the peak firing rates of population 1 and population 2 in a given network). This “interpopulation frequency” may be obtained by multiplying the given population by the number of active populations. For example, the interpopulation frequency for a network size of 20 when 2 populations are active would be approximately 30 Hz.</p
