-where the first column specifies the [[NeuronID]] and the second column the associated gamma value. Patterns are separated by 2 or more linebreaks. Comments can be added to the file and have to be marked with a leading ''#'', which has to be the first character on a line. If the second column is missing the value will be interpreted as 1.0.
+where the first column specifies the [[NeuronID]] and the second column the associated gamma value. Different patterns in a single pattern file are **separated by 2 or more line breaks**. Comments can be added to the file and have to be marked with a leading ''#'', which has to be the first character on a line. If the second column is missing the value will be interpreted as 1.0. Therefore a pattern file without second column is also a valid pattern file.
