These movies are of neurons coupled to their next nearest neighbors and each neuron receives independent LGN poisson spike trains. The grid is made up of 200 by 200 neurons where the edges wrap around like a torus.

The following a movie where the LGN spike rate is 5000 spikes per second and the strength of each spike is 0.0025. The coupling constant between next nearest neighbors are 0.007. The code was run for 0.5 secs and each neuron spikes about 27 times. R12.5C07Rate5000

Again the LGN spike rate is 5000/second and the strength is 0.0024. The coupling constant is 0.007 between neurons. The movie was made on the 5th-6th second of the code and the neurons spike on average of 41.5 times. Here is a density histogram of the interspike times a neuron receives from other neurons, the LGN, and both.

LGN spike rate: 5000/sec w/ strength 0.0024. Coupling between neurons is 0.0065. Code was the 5th second of code w/ an average neuron spiking of 29.5 times during that second. MOVIE. Here are the density histograms of interspike time a neuron receives from other neurons, the LGN, and both. This movie is the same parameters but of the 1st second.

This movie has an LGN spike rate of 10000 spikes per second and the strength of each spike is 0.00125. The neurons spiked about 24 times. All the other parameters are the same as movie above. In both movies, the average conductance each neuron received from the LGN is 12.5. R12.5C07Rate10000

This movie is made w/ each neuron coupled to their next NEXT nearest neighbors. The LGN spike rate is 10000 times a second w/ a strength of 0.0013 and the coupling constant between neurons is 0.00325. Here the neurons spike once or twice. R13S156

Again next NEXT nearest neighbors. LGN spikes 10000/sec w/ strength 0.0013 and coupling constant between neurons is 0.0035. R13S168

With the next next nearest neighbors I had trouble find any patterns when the LGN coupling strength was 0.00125, which is why the above two movies have the coupling strength as 0.00125.
