Effect on network behavior emerging from different PRC shapes.

<p>Modified Wang and Buzsái model neurons are used to compute PRCs at two parameter sets (a) resulting in a PRC that is nearly symmetric, and another that has very steep rise near small phases. (b) Growth functions corresponding to the PRCs in (a). (c) Voltage time courses of two coupled model neurons corresponding to the parameter sets of the two PRCs in (a). (d) Growth function for a third parameter set resulting in a non-zero phase-locked state near synchrony. (e) Spike times (plotted as dots) of a network of 100 all-to-all coupled model neurons for the three parameter sets corresponding to the curves in (b,d). The non-zero phase-locked state near synchrony leads to prolonged transients, and a jitter in the spike times in the steady state. : , A/cm. : , A/cm. : , A/cm. is fixed at for all the three sets.
