Example of the curve fitting. (a) The experimental TPSF (solid brown line) was obtained from measurements of the rat gray matter (primary somatosensory cortex). From the best-fit simulated TPSF (dotted line), the μ_a and μ_s’ were estimated as 0.052 mm⁻¹ and 1.70 mm⁻¹, respectively. (b) The experimental TPSF (solid brown line) was obtained from measurements of the monkey gray matter (left caudal area of the inferior parietal lobule, 7a). From the best-fit simulated TPSF (dotted line), the μ_a and μ_s’ were estimated as 0.081 mm⁻¹ and 1.8 mm⁻¹, respectively.
