Figure 5

The electrical coupling decreases the frequency of the global spiking behavior. The figure shows the evolution of the average firing rate of two IO network models with an electrical coupling among 4 and 8 neighbor cells, respectively, as a function of the coupling strength. Stronger electrical coupling reduces and regularizes the spiking frequency. This phenomenon occurs both increasing the coupling strength and the number of connections among neighbors.
