Average Cx-CD synaptic strengths remain stable but exhibit different levels for different task conditions. (A) The time course of the synaptic strength in a block of trials with the easy condition. The synaptic strength converged to a range between 0.3 and 0.6 nS. (B) The time course of the synaptic strength in the difficult condition. The synaptic strength converged to a range (between 0.1 and 0.4 nS), which is lower than that in the easy condition. (C) When the trial condition switched from easy to difficult, or (D) from difficult to easy, the synaptic strength quickly converged to new range that is consistent with those shown in the (A,B). The results show that the model exhibits stable and consistent adaptations to changes in task difficulty.
