Coupling parameter dependence. Left: Maximal SLI (top) and mean frequency (bottom) of the oscillators in the cortical region (for ${\tilde{\omega }}_C=3$ Hz, ${\tilde{\omega }}_T=7$ Hz and N=1000) as functions of the coupling strengths K _C and K _T . Right: enlargments of the marked areas in the corresponding panels. Solid curves mark Hopf-Bifurcations (black) and fold-limit cycle bifurcations (gray) of the reduced system. The arrows A and B show possible transitions from a level of high synchronization (K _C =2,K _T =5) to a level of lower synchronization (tip of arrow A: K _C =1.1,K _T =5; tip of arrow B: K _C =2,K _T =4.5).
