The firing patterns of the neuron and Ca2+ concentrations in the astrocyte with different stimulus intensities whose duration is extended to be infinite. The black curves represent neuronal membrane potentials, whereas the red curves represent calcium concentrations in the astrocytes. The initial values are the same as those in Fig. 1. (a) Iext = 7 μA/cm2, (b) Iext = 8 μA/cm2, (c) Iext = 9 μA/cm2, (d) Iext = 10 μA/cm2, (e) Iext = 11 μA/cm2, (f) Iext = 12 μA/cm2.
