Figure 6. Effect of increased network coupling strengths on the average period of the neuronal population.
Model parameters for network coupling strengths associated with neuronal VIP (VIPR2_N) and glutamate (iGluRs) receptors and the glutamate synthesis/transport rate regulated by the astrocyte (EAATs) were increased from their nominal values. (A) Percentage increases in each parameter used to perform simulations of Scenario 2 (Wild-type neurons and Bmal1−/− astrocytes). (B) Period increases (Mean±SEM) of the simulated neuronal populations for Scenario 2. (C) Period increases (Mean±SEM) of the simulated neuronal populations for Scenario 4 (CK1ε Tau/+ neurons and CK1ε−/+ astrocytes) and simultaneous increases of VIP and glutamate receptor strengths.
