Multi-population Network Models of the Cortical Microcircuit

摘要: In this paper, we investigate a data-based multi-population extension of the balanced random network model (BRN) (Amit DJ and Brunel N, Cereb Cortex 7:237–252, 1997; van Vreeswijk C Sompolinsky H, Science 274:1724–1726, 1996). We observe that findings based on mono-layered model, especially regarding asynchronous irregular activity state, largely generalize to (MPM). addition, increased complexity structure yields cell-type specific features which relate other microcircuit models as well experimental data. argue specificity connectivity between cell types is crucial achieve consistency simulated in vivo activity.
