Visualization of the spatio-temporal organization of LECs activity in a typical human LC.

A Color coded values of response times, tres, of individual LECs in a particular LC. Blue color denotes the time-delay of 0 s and red color denotes the time-delay of 8 s or more after the first responders. Light blue, green, yellow and orange colored LECs respond within 0 and 8 s with a time-step of 2 s, progressively. B Color coded values of activation times, Δtact, for individual LECs in the same LC as in A. Blue color denotes Δtact of 10 s or less and the red color denotes Δtact of 22 s or more. Light blue, green, yellow and orange colors of LECs denote Δtact between 10 and 22 s with a time-step of 3 s, progressively. C Color coded values of deactivation times, Δtdeact, for individual LECs in the same LC. Blue color denotes Δtdeact of 12 s or less and red color denotes Δtdeact of 24 s or more. Light blue, green, yellow and orange colors of LECs denote Δtdeact between 10 and 22 s with a time-step of 3 s, progressively. A visual inspection of the figure indicates that a tendency of nearby cells being activated simultaneously and having similar signal duration exists, as localized subgroups of cells with the same color can be identified in all three panels.
