The normalized length of the lurching period L/σ as a function of g_syn/V_T. The analytical solution for the case τ₁ = 0, τ₂ ≪ τ₀ ≪ τ_d (Eq. 18) is represented by the solid line. Simulations were carried out with N = 200,000 and ρ = 500. Simulations results with the corresponding parameter set: τ_d = 1000 ms, τ₀ = 30 ms, τ₁ = 0, τ₂ = 0.002 ms, denoted by ○, fit the analytical solutions almost exactly. The symbol × denotes simulations with τ_d = 20 ms, τ₀ = 30 ms, τ₁ = 0, τ₂ = 0.002 ms; the symbol ∗ denotes simulations with τ_d = 20 ms, τ₀ = 30 ms, τ₁ = 0, τ₂ = 2 ms; and the symbol □ denotes simulations with τ_d = 20 ms, τ₀ = 30 ms, τ₁ = 0.3, τ₂ = 2 ms.
