The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron ...

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, validate the hypothesis that the equivalent tuning of excitatory and ...

Previous studies had identified the presence of shared excitatory and inhibitory neurons, as well as general connectivity patterns suggesting a similar evolutionary path in these vertebrate species.

Recurrent spiking networks that process input stimuli with optimal efficiency have key emerging properties that are similar to those of biological neural networks.

One particularly intriguing feature of these networks is the balance between the activity of excitatory and inhibitory neurons, which has been observed across different brain regions." The key ...
