Simulation of NB and BB γ over the whole contrast range. A, B, Optimal amplitude of periodic (A) and sustained (B) thalamic input amplitude for each value of contrast K (blue markers) and corresponding fit (dashed orange line). C, PSD₃₀ modulation (see Materials and Methods) of NB (top) and BB (bottom) with fixed sustained input S = 500 sp./s and individual A(K) values shown in (A; blue line) and overall fit (orange line). Error bars indicate mean ± SEM here and in the following panels. D, PSD₃₀ modulation (see Materials and Methods) of NB (top) and BB (bottom) with sustained input S(K) values shown in B (blue line) or associated fit (orange line) and no periodic input. E, Comparison of PSD₃₀ modulation in NB (top) and BB (bottom) for experiments (red) and simulations with A(K) and S(K) values determined by local optimization (blue) or associated fit (orange).
