Figure 6.

Dependence of wave properties on gap junction coupling strength. Shown, as a function of ${\sigma }_{gap}$ and number of neighbors with gap junction connections, are (A) the number of cells whose voltage exceeds −40mV, (B) latency (time until one of the neuron’s membrane potential reaches −40 mV), (C) wave speed, and (D) duration of depolarization at cell V₂₄. Here ${\rho }_N={\rho }_A=10$ and K⁺ is injected at a rate of 5 mM/s. To see this figure in color, go online.
