Table 1:

Parameters used for in-silico simulation of neural activity in layer II/III of mouse primary visual area V1. Values for each parameter were either directly found in the literature or estimated from published data (entries with a †). The third column indicates whether these parameters were set directly in NAOMi, or were fit indirectly by setting other simulation parameters. In the latter cases, the measured values from a simulated NAOMi volume are shown for comparison, indicating that the simulated anatomy matches measured anatomical statistics.
