From: Using phase response curves to predict synchronization times for neural circuits
The mean value of the STDM divided by the period (the combination is dimensionless) as a function of the h and persistent sodium conductances in the stellate cell, which are the parameters most influencing the intrinsic spiking frequency. The region of maximal values (red) is approximately in the θ and low-β region of intrinsic spiking frequency, and also approximately the frequency range where circuits of simulated cells are observed to synchronize most quickly and where real stellate cells lie. The results shown are for excitatory coupling with synaptic conductance 0.01 mS / cm2.
