This pull request resolves issue #2503.

The changes applied by this pull request, slightly change the behavior of the cortical microcircuit (see #2503). It should therefore be discussed whether this is desired or not.

Well spotted! I think that this is the expected behavior and therefore we should update the model as suggested.
On the long run, one could consider of making this default for redrawing - what do you think?
I would suggest two small additions to this PR:

  1. Could you please update the new firing rates in the code as they are used for downscaling?
  2. To make the documentation clearer (see Add documentation on discretization of uniformly distributed delays #2452), I would suggest to mention there that this effect not only appears for the uniform distribution but also for the normal distribution.

I've adjusted the mean rates and also added a sentence to the documentation. Please review again.

@heplesser I also saw that the reference data required an update. Can you review again?
