JS model produces sustained arch-shaped gamma oscillations within the previously identified superlinear inhibitory regime. by R Krishnakumaran (12085900)

“…Input combinations used in (C) were chosen to have constant I_E (5 vertically distributed markers; the increase in size modelled as an increase in I_I) while those used in (D) simultaneously varied in I_E and I_I (5 markers distributed obliquely; the increase in contrast modelled as a linear increase in I_E and I_I). …”

Differentiation of neuroblastoma cell lines by combined treatment with retinoic acid and TPA. by Brendan D. Looyenga (185620)
