By default: `-11.0`, as used in the full-scale network. `g = -1.0` means equal excitatory and inhibitory strengths, and `g < -1.0` results in stronger inhibition than excitation.\n",

-    "6. `rate_ext` defines the rate of the Poissonian spike generator (in spikes/s), by default: `10.0`. It also serves as one of the input parameters of the model. When a larger value is assigned to `rate_ext`, the excitatory background noise is increased. Note that the external Poisson indegree onto 5E and 6E is increased by a factor of 1.125 and 1.41666667 repectively, and the external Poisson indegree onto 23E and 5E in area TH is increased by a factor of 1.2."
