On the Relation between Bursts and Dynamic Synapse Properties: A Modulation-Based Ansatz
Figure 1
Behavior of the quantal synaptic short-term adaption, protocol similar to [11], Figure 4, but with regular pulse rates instead of Poisson, frequency step after 1.5 seconds and 3 seconds, pulse rates , the continuous curve denotes the resulting PSC. The parameters are identical to [11], Figure 4 , that is, τ facil=530milliseconds, τ rec = 130 milliseconds, A = 1540 pA, U = 0.03. To derive a continuous PSC from the pulse-PSC of (4), pulses with a duration of 1.4 milliseconds are weighted with the responses from (4), similar to the sum of PSCs as used in [10]. However, in contrast to [10], a moving average with a window of 100 milliseconds is computed to obtain a time curve rather than a scalar figure of merit. The pulse duration is not explicitly mentioned in [11], but biological evidence [1] and the similarity with [11] support this value.
