Information in a Network of Neuronal Cells: Effect of Cell Density and Short-Term Depression

Figure 8

The information integrated over the entire grid as a function of number of neurons in the grid. Information increases linearly with for small ; differently, information growth is hindered for large : for the present configuration marks the transition from small to large (a). The total information can be divided per the number of neurons and this yields the information density in the grid; on reporting the information density as a function of , one may observe that an optimal number of nodes exists at which it reaches a maximum, here, (b).
