High Stimulus-Related Information in Barrel Cortex Inhibitory Interneurons
The manner in which populations of inhibitory (INH) and excitatory (EXC) neocortical neurons collectively encode stimulus-related information is a fundamental, yet still unresolved question. Here we address this question by simultaneously recording with large-scale multi-electrode arrays (of up to 128 channels) the activity of cell ensembles (of up to 74 neurons) distributed along all layers of...
متن کاملStimulus Dependence of Barrel Cortex Directional Selectivity
Neurons throughout the rat vibrissa somatosensory pathway are sensitive to the angular direction of whisker movement. Could this sensitivity help rats discriminate stimuli? Here we use a simple computational model of cortical neurons to analyze the robustness of directional selectivity. In the model, directional preference emerges from tuning of synaptic conductance amplitude and latency, as in...
متن کاملInhibitory interneurons in the piriform cortex.
1. The piriform cortex (PC) is the largest subdivision of the olfactory cortex and the first cortical destination of olfactory information. Despite the relatively simple anatomy of the PC and its obvious appeal as a model system for the study of cortical sensory processing, there are many outstanding questions about its basic cell physiology. In the present article, we review what is known abou...
متن کاملStimulus frequency processing in awake rat barrel cortex.
In awake rats, we examined the relationship between neural spiking activity in primary somatic sensory cortex and the frequency of whisker stimulation. Neural responses were recorded extracellularly in barrel cortex while single whiskers were deflected with 0.5-18 air puffs per second (apps), a range that includes the whisk rates observed when rats explore their environment and discriminate sur...
متن کاملPhysiological properties of inhibitory interneurons in cat striate cortex.
Physiological and morphological properties of identified interneurons in the striate cortex of the cat were studied in vivo by intracellular recording and staining with biocytin. In conformity with in vitro studies, these non-pyramidal fast spiking cells have very brief action potentials associated with a high rate of fall, and a large hyperpolarizing afterpotential. These cells show high disch...
