A case study in the functional consequences of scaling the sizes of realistic cortical models
Table 1
Synaptic weights and restored firing rates of reduced cortices.
This table summarizes the results of applying the algorithm in Results (Restoring firing rates through synaptic compensation) to identify example model cortices of successively smaller sizes. The seven example cortices the data of which are shown below will be used in studies in the rest of the paper. All have firing rates within prescribed ranges. The algorithm favored keeping the multiplicative factors mQ′Q close to 1 and maximizing OS, but no optimization procedure was expressly carried out for those purposes.
