Figure 8.

Acute and long-lasting effects of stimulation for different stimulation durations. (A–D) acute mean synaptic weight, 〈w〉_ac, at the end of a stimulation period T_stim for different numbers of stimulation sites N_s. (A'–D') Long-lasting desynchronization effects quantified by the Kuramoto order parameter, ${\overline{\rho }}_{\mathrm{\text{ll}}}$, Equation (2), recorded 1, 000 s after a stimulation period of duration T_stim. Low values indicate desynchronized spiking activity and high values in-phase synchronization of neuronal spiking. Parameters: A_stim = 0.1 and f_CR = 12 Hz.
