Figure 5. Effect of the Number of Oscillators as Well as the Connectivity on Synchronization.
(A) Synchronization properties of randomly coupled networks with respect to the number of neurons n (c 0 = 0.10). Each dot represents the order parameter R for one realization of a random network and a simulation. Ten simulations were performed for each value of cell number n. The total length of the simulations was 312 h after starting with random initial conditions, and the order parameter was calculated over the last 240 h.
(B) Three examples of average output for n = 12, 24, and 101.
(C) Synchronization properties of randomly coupled networks with respect to the connectivity c 0 (n = 12). Ten simulations were performed for each value of nominal connectivity c 0. Other parameters as in (A).
(D) Three examples of average Per/Cry mRNA concentration for c 0 = 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15.
