<p><b>(A)</b> Network degree, i.e., the mean number of incoming connections with per neuron, separated by the type of incoming connection and plotted against each other. Each dot represents one network run in its weight configuration after 15 hours of development. Color represents . <b>(B)</b> Total weight of excitatory and inhibitory synapses (without applying the weight threshold), averaged across neurons and plotted against each other in the same manner as in panel <b>A. (C)</b> The same data in the subset of networks with . The black line is the linear least-squares fit to these data points with slope 4.097 and intercept -12.76. <b>(D)</b> The criticality outcome plotted against the ratio of excitatory to inhibitory weight totals, along with a log-linear regression line.</p>
