Susceptibility (Ŝ) vs. firing rate, computed for the strong asynchronous (Strong Asyn) network studied in [4], with all other parameters besides threshold θ and mean inhibitory conductance \(\langle g_{I}\rangle\) set to their average values (thereby leaving a two-dimensional parameter space: the other (averaged) parameters are \(\langle\sigma_{g_{I},i} \rangle_{p} = 0.5884\) (see Eq. (30)), \(\langle\sigma_{g_{E},i} \rangle_{p} = 0.0378\) (see Eq. (29)), \(\langle\sigma_{i} \rangle_{p} = 4.7434\), \(\langle \langle g_{E},i \rangle \rangle_{p} = 0.0611\), see Eq. (17)). Here, we traverse the plane on three different families of straight-line paths. Dashed lines show paths visualized in [4]: \(\theta= 1\) (vertical, aqua blue) and \(\langle g_{I}\rangle= 1.46\) (horizontal, yellow/green)
