Fig 10. Synchronization in neuron-astrocyte networks with block pools and asynchronous activity regime.

(A) Top: Spontaneous calcium transients in ten randomly selected astrocytes. Bottom: Frequency and duration of calcium transients across all astrocytes in the model. (B) Top: Raster plot showing activity of all excitatory (blue) and inhibitory (red) neurons in the model. Bottom left: Spiking frequency for excitatory (Exc.) and inhibitory (Inh.) neurons. Bottom right: Single neuron burst frequency, duration and number of spikes per burst. (C) Single astrocyte (middle panel) with its five postsynaptic neurons (bottom panel) and all presynaptic neurons (raster plot, top panel). (D) Top: Neuronal synchrony is evaluated as a difference in onsets of successive burst events. Bottom: Synchrony evaluated as pairwise correlation between binned spike trains.
