Figure 7.
Changes of degree of synchronization within the shell as functions of intra-subpopulation coupling strength of AVP (v c2 ) under the entrainment of VIP signals with different external coupling strength (k c ). Simulation was conducted with 50 cells in the core and 150 cells in the shell. The probability of the coupling between the core and the shell is 0.5. Dashed line: the shell ensemble only receives AVP coupling signals; Solid lines: the shell ensemble receives both AVP and VIP coupling signals, with VIP coupling strength varying.
