Highly Heterogeneous Excitatory Connections Require Less Amount of Noise to Sustain Firing Activities in Cortical Networks

Cortical networks both in vivo and in vitro sustain asynchronous irregular firings with extremely low frequency. To realize such self-sustained activity in neural network models, balance between excitatory and inhibitory activities is known to be one of the keys. In addition, recent theoretical stud...
