Figure 7. DGC values can be recovered at each of the synapses in the serial chain.

Random synaptic weights of 15 mV and 45 mV were generated between each neuron in a five-neuron serial chain and 100 realizations of this chain were created for analysis. These plots demonstrate that DGC values recovered from entangled pathways (top right, bottom right, and bottom left) along the serial chain mirror those calculated using PGC on the first pathway (top left). This suggests that DGC values represent the direct influence between two neurons similar to the PGC relationship that can be calculated between neurons that are not entangled by mediated influences.
