A Computational Analysis of the Function of Three Inhibitory Cell Types in Contextual Visual Processing.

Frontiers in computational neuroscience

Lee JH, Koch C, Mihalas S.
PMID: 28487644
Front Comput Neurosci. 2017 Apr 25;11:28. doi: 10.3389/fncom.2017.00028. eCollection 2017.

Most cortical inhibitory cell types exclusively express one of three genes, parvalbumin, somatostatin and 5HT3a. We conjecture that these three inhibitory neuron types possess distinct roles in visual contextual processing based on two observations. First, they have distinctive synaptic...
