Figure 8

A. Top: Fixed points and their stability for the dynamics of a NGS neuron with Inline graphic pS/µm2 and Inline graphic pS/µm2 (Inline graphic) as a function of the input current DC. Bottom: The phase planes showing the nullclines (black) and their intersection points (fixed points) together with the flow lines indicated by the arrows. A single trajectory is shown in red. The inset shows a zoomed portion of the phase plane near the fixed point. Below we show trajectories for two values of Inline graphic and two DC values. B. The fixed points for different ratios Inline graphic, while keeping Inline graphic pS/µm2 and varying Inline graphic, as a function of the DC. C. Same as A but for a GS neuron with Inline graphic pS/µm2 and Inline graphic pS/µm2 (Inline graphic). Note that the abscissa has been scaled from A and B.
