Fig 3. Metrics of structured activity vs post-synaptic time duration.

a) Metrics Q₀ (in solid line) and Q_d (dashed) as a function of the pulse time scale for the parameter values {ΔV,g} = {5 mV,8} corresponding to the maximum Q₀ value in Fig 2(d). Probability distribution functions P(CV) (P(CV₂)) for the coefficient of variation CV (local coefficient of variation CV₂) are shown in b) (in c)) for three representative τ_α = {2, 9, 20} ms, indicated in the three panels with red squares, blue triangles-up and black circles respectively. For these three cases the average firing rate in the network is 〈ν〉 = {8.81,7.65,7.35} Hz ordered for increasing τ_α-values. Other parameters as in Fig 1.
