Differential effects of excitatory and inhibitory heterogeneity on the gain and asynchronous state of sparse cortical networks

Recent experimental and theoretical studies have highlighted the importance of cell-to-cell differences in the dynamics and functions of neural networks, such as in different types of neural coding or synchronization. It is still not known, however, how neural heterogeneity can affect cortical compu...
