Fig 5. Network simulations of deprivation.

Fig 5

(a) Relative firing rate distribution (normalized to population mean) for counter-intuitive shifters and for the total population. We consider a neuron to be a counter-inuitive shifter if the ODI difference is larger than 0.15. The population consists of 5000 neurons (50 network simulations of MD-CL with 100 neurons each). For the counter-intuitive shifters, most of the firing rates lie below the mean. (b) Evolution of synaptic weights over time for one neuron in the network, in the case of monocular deprivation of the contralateral eye. Similarly, for MD-IL, BD and MI, see S4 Fig. (c) Population ODI shifts for all forms of deprivation. Under both types of MD, the population shifts towards the open eye. No shift is observed after BD and MI. (d) 5000 neurons (50 network simulations of 100 neurons) are divided according to original ODI. The boxplots show the distribution of OD shifts for both groups. Ipsilaterally dominated neurons show no response depression after MD-CL.
