Table 2. Rise time and decay time of synapses used in our model.

rise (msec) decay (msec)
excitatory synapses 0.25 1
inhibitory synapses from FS cells 0.5 8
NMDA synapses 5.0 100
inhibition from SI cells 0.5 20
excitation from L5 pyramids to L2/3 SI 2.5 50

Non-fast spiking interneurons elicited slowly decaying inhibition [77], [113], and inhibition of L5 Martinotti cells has slower kinetics than that of L5 FS cells [53]. Thus, we set SI to produce slowly decaying inhibition. Specifically, we adopted decaying time from models of low threshold spiking interneurons in earlier computational works [32], [38].
