Our work on explaining how excitatory and inhibitory firing rates change after sensory deprivation is now published in #PNAS@PNASNews. One day post visual deprivation inhibitory firing rates in the visual cortex decrease, while excitatory rates stay the same. On the day two,
inhibitory rates recover, while excitatory rates decrease. Classical inhibition stabilized networks cannot capture this effect because of the paradoxical effect as shown by Tsodyks et al. We add a second class of inhibitory neurons in a cortical network model
