Fast transient behavior and onset of synchronization.

<p>(a) Example of time-trace synchronization following random initial conditions (starting at time = 0) and consequent to a brief perturbing current (green bar) at time = 1000 ms in motif M6 with c = 0.01. (b) averaged over 400 trials with c = 0.01 in motifs M3 compared to M6. (c) Exponent estimated from averaged over 400 trials on the interval between 1200 and 2400 ms for varying coupling strengths in motifs M3, M6 and M9. Delay .
