Table 3. Parameters for each synapse type.

Parameter PN to KC KC to EN
τsyn 3.0 8.0
ϕ 0.93 8.0
g 0.25 [0, 2.0]
τc N/A 40ms
τd N/A 20ms

The parameter τsyn is the time constant for synapses, ϕ represents the quantity of neurotransmitter released per synapse, and g is the weight per synapse. Note that the weights of connections from vPN to KC are fixed whereas the weights from KC to EN are bounded to the range of 0 to 2.0. The parameter τc is the time constant for Izhikevich type synaptic eligibility trace in KC-EN synapses, and τd is the Biogenic Amine concentration time constant.
