(a) Each SAC was modeled using a hexagonal array of six dendrites. Each dendrite had one proximal and one distal compartment. One additional compartment was used to represent the cell soma. Several cells were then synaptically linked together for the full model. (b) Response of the Cl⁻ gating variables (bottom) to a step increase in the presynaptic voltage signal (top). The dashed line corresponds to θ ₁. The variables s _c,1, s _c,2 are drawn using dashed and solid lines, respectively. (c) Same graph, but with a shortened delay produced by using the different parameter values α = 240, β = 18, θ ₂ = 0.6
