Fig 7. Altered phase space and modified connections.

A Firing rates averaged across populations 5E and 6E and across areas for different stages from the original model (black) to iteration 4 (light gray) as a function of $\mathit{\kappa }$, predicted by the mean-field theory. B Relative changes in the indegree $\mathit{\delta }{\mathit{K}}_{\mathit{A}\mathit{B}}/{\sum }_{\mathit{B}}{\mathit{K}}_{\mathit{A}\mathit{B}}$ between areas A, B in the first iteration. C Layer-specific relative changes $\mathit{\delta }{\mathit{K}}_{\mathit{l}\mathit{n}}/{\sum }_{\mathit{n}}{\mathit{K}}_{\mathit{l}\mathit{n}}$ in the connections within and between areas FEF and 46, for the first iteration. Populations are ordered from 2/3E (left) to 6I (right) on the horizontal axis and from 6I (bottom) to 2/3E (top) on the vertical axis as in panel D. D Relative changes in population-specific indegrees summed over target populations, ${\sum }_{\mathit{l}}\mathit{\delta }{\mathit{K}}_{\mathit{l}\mathit{n}}/{\sum }_{\mathit{l}}{\mathit{K}}_{\mathit{l}\mathit{n}}$, combined for iterations two, three and four.
