Burst profiles of the SC population in the network in response to the external input current with varying temporal properties (β, I0), selected such that the total number of input spikes sent to the SC motor map decreased with increasing β (see Fig. 2c,d). Same format as in Fig. 5. (a) Peak firing rates of the neural population in the motor map. Red curve corresponds to the default (β = 0.03 s−1). The SC peak firing rate increases with β and reaches a plateau around the default. The total number of SC spikes remained constant (see also Fig. 2g,h, purple data). (b) Firing patterns of the neural population as function of time for the different β values. Note that burst durations decrease with increasing β.
