A Diffusive Homeostatic Signal Maintains Neural Heterogeneity and Responsiveness in Cortical Networks.
Gaseous neurotransmitters such as nitric oxide (NO) provide a unique and often overlooked mechanism for neurons to communicate through diffusion within a network, independent of synaptic connectivity. NO provides homeostatic control of intrinsic excitability. Here we conduct a theoretical investigat...
