Fig 2. Relationship between network dynamics and deformation of the attractor landscape.

Fig 2

(A-D) ACh-controlled deformation of the attractor landscape. When ACh is released, the inhibition rate REI decreases because of disinhibition of inhibitory synapses projecting onto excitatory neurons. (A, C) Dynamics of the network with 16 modules with NE = 1000 and NI = 250 for (A) REI = 1.00 and (C) REI = 0.94. (B, D) The corresponding attractor landscapes. The red arrows show the typical transitive dynamics. The green arrows show the influence caused by the glutamatergic spike volleys with strength IT. (E-H) Deformation of the attractor landscape caused by the bottom-up external inputs with strength IB. (E, G) Dynamics of the network with 16 modules with NE = 1000 and NI = 250 for (E) IB = 0.002 and (G) IB = 0.006. (F, H) Corresponding attractor landscapes. The red arrows show the typical transitive dynamics.
