Dynamics of Δ<i>E</i><sub>K</sub><sup>+</sup> with varying K<sub>dec</sub>.

<p>Example Δ<i>E</i><sub>K</sub><sup>+</sup> traces over time for a stimulus presented at the target orientation with varying the strength of the potassium pumps (top: K<sub>dec</sub> = 1.9·10<sup>−8</sup> m/s, middle: K<sub>dec</sub> = 2.9·10<sup>−8</sup> m/s, bottom: K<sub>dec</sub> = 3.9·10<sup>−8</sup> m/s). Increasing the decay constant of the Na<sup><b>+</b></sup>/K<sup><b>+</b></sup> pump lowers the Δ<i>E</i><sub>K</sub><sup>+</sup> both for the similarly and diversely tuned segments and reduces the differences in Δ<i>E</i><sub>K</sub><sup>+</sup> between the 2 types over time.</p> <p>(PDF)</p>
