| Accession: 82385 |
A major challenge for computational neuroscience is to understand
the computational function of lamina-specific synaptic connection
patterns in stereotypical cortical microcircuits.We approach this problem by studying ...
the dynamical system defined by more realistic cortical microcircuit
models as a whole and by investigating the influence that its
laminar structure has on the transmission and fusion of information
within this dynamical system. The circuit models that we examine
consist of Hodgkin--Huxley neurons with dynamic synapses... We investigate to what
extent this cortical microcircuit template supports the accumulation
and fusion of information contained in generic spike inputs into
layer 4 and layers 2/3 and how well it makes this information
accessible to projection neurons in layers 2/3 and layer 5. ... We conclude that computer simulations
of detailed lamina-specific cortical microcircuit models
provide new insight into computational consequences of anatomical
and physiological data. See paper for more and details.
