Schematic representation of network architecture, neuronal integration and spike, synaptic conductance traces.

Abstract

<p>(A) The local recurrent neuronal network consists of excitatory (Exc) and inhibitory (Inh) spiking neurons with synaptic connections (blue, excitatory; red, inhibitory) and inputs from other neural circuits or external stimuli. (B) The voltage trace of one IF neuron with refractory period and leaky current. (C) The unitary conductance response to a pre-synaptic spike is described by a bi-exponential function with latency <i>τ</i>_<i>l</i>, rise time <i>τ</i>_<i>r</i> and decay time <i>τ</i>_<i>d</i>.</p
