Table 4.

Best‐fitting parameters describing the short‐term plasticity of different types of connection

Connection type U 0 τr (ms) τe (ms) a e k˜e (1/s) I max (pA)
PV+BC–PV+BC 0.31 (0.25, 0.34) 1080 23.7 0.64 13.2 410 (270, 710)
PV+BC–PC 0.33 (0.22, 0.42) 1620 13.5 0.72 22.6 289 (253, 333)
AAC–PC 0.26 (0.22, 0.30) 1700 13.6 0.98 24.7 646 (321, 828)
Connection type U 0 τr (ms) τf (ms) I max (pA)
CCK+BC–PC 0.15 (0.11, 0.18) 71 10.9 (7.2, 53.5) 499 (252, 708)

The first three types of connection were best described by a model that included the use‐dependent replenishment of resources but lacked facilitation: eqns (1), (3), (4) and (5). CCK+BC–PC connections were best described by a model that included short‐term facilitation but not use‐dependent replenishment: eqns (1), (2) and (5). Medians and interquartile ranges for each connection type are shown in the case of parameters for which connection‐specific values were fit; the single best‐fitting value is shown for connection type‐specific parameters for which the value was fit jointly for all connections within the given type.
