Fig. 8

a Stereotypy in MBON response versus the connection probability between KCs and MBON in the model. When connection probability is 1, the MBON stereotypy matches the stereotypy in total KC response (dashed line). Error bars represent s.e.m. b Stereotypy in MBON response as a function of KC-MBON connection probability and the randomness in PN-KC connections (i.e., the fraction of PN-KC synapses whose values are independently set in the two individuals). Simulations were done for 21 values of each parameter in the range 0.01 to 1.0 on a log scale. c Stereotypy in MBON response versus the ratio of convergence (KC-MBON connection probability) to randomness (in PN-KC connections) in the data shown in (b). The dependence of stereotypy (S) on the convergence:randomness ratio (r) is captured well by a fit to the Hill equation, \({{S}} = \frac{{{{r}}^{0.65}}}{{0.48 + {{r}}^{0.65}}}\) (black trace); blue trace shows the average stereotypy of points with the same ratio. In all panels, n = 100 iterations.
