Neural network model of L4.

Abstract

<p><b>(a)</b> Diagram of the recurrent model of L4 network. <b>(b)</b> Spike shape of VPM (schematic), L4E and L4I neurons. <b>(c)</b> Temporal dynamics of individual EPSPs for the different synaptic connections (T = VPM; I = L4 FS; E = L4E). The convention is that that the first letter corresponds to the post-synaptic neuron and the second letter to the presynaptic neuron. <b>(d)</b> Thalamic generating function <i>F</i>_T (<a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005576#pcbi.1005576.e003" target="_blank">Eq 1</a>). The panels on the right show the same figure in a magnified scale. For simplicity, we assume that all T neurons have the same preferred phase.</p
