Supplementary Figure 15: Quantification and analysis of synchronization events in silico.

a) Phase estimation and first peak detection of synchronization events. Each synchronization event in the 3-s duration simulation is color coded. Vertical solid line represent time at which each SW occurred, and horizontal dashed lines indication the “center-of-mass” of the synchronizing ensemble and its linearized position (i.e. phase) on the ring. b) SW-onset triggered PSTH for regular spiking cells (black) and bursting cells (red). Solid lines represent the firing rate of the sub-set of cells involved in synchronization event (inside bump), while dashed lines show the firing rate of cells not involved in the SW (outside bump). Inset right, network raster (excitatory cells only) illustrating that all synchronization events of regular spiking cells are associated with preceding bursting cell activity (shown overlaid).
