Table 2. Synaptic weights derived from the transition rate constants.

The rate constants were taken from Table 1, column A. Two values of the fundamental switching time, A, corresponding to the minimum (0.40 Hz) and maximum (0.86 Hz) values consistent with the ablation results were used in Materials and methods, Equations 36–38 to calculate the corresponding synaptic weights.
