Fig 5. Sensitivity of SED on the synaptic cut-off weight.
Each point corresponds to the mean SED for an ensemble of wild type circuits with the following property: all connections whose strengths are above a given cut-off (horizontal axis) are set as inhibitory, while the polarities of the remaining connections are randomly chosen (100 versions). Lowering the synaptic cut-off generally decreases mean SED and its variability. Note that for the cut-off weights ≤ 0.75 the value of SED does not change much.
