Construction of the layer IV microcircuits in simulation. Schematic graph shows how layer IV microcircuits were constructed in the simulation for experiments shown in Fig 10. Noise (jitter of strength and timing) were added to TC inputs. FS cell pairs were connected via both GABAergic chemical synapse (gray arrows) and GJ. SS cell pairs were connected via glutamatergic synapses (black arrows). FS-SS cells were connected via glutamatergic synapses (black arrows) and GABAergic chemical synapse (gray arrows).
