Figure 1From: General anaesthetics induce tonic inhibition and modulate the gain of neural populations : a modeling studyThe population firing rate in a population of type-I neurons plotted with respect to the conductance at excitatory synapses G E. The tonic inhibition shunts the membrane at extra-synaptic inhibitory receptors in average by 0.1nS. The heterogeneity of the shunting conductances have standard deviations 0.1nS (black) and 0.5nS (red).Back to article page
