Rapid Neocortical Dynamics: Cellular and Network Mechanisms

Open access
Haider, Bilal, McCormick, David A.·2009·Neuron

Abstract

The highly interconnected local and large-scale networks of the neocortical sheet rapidly and dynamically modulate their functional connectivity according to behavioral demands. This basic operating principle of the neocortex is mediated by the continuously changing flow of excitatory and inhibitory synaptic barrages that not only control participation of neurons in networks but also define the networks themselves. The rapid control of neuronal responsiveness via synaptic bombardment is a fundamental property of cortical dynamics that may provide the basis of diverse behaviors, including sensory perception, motor integration, working memory, and attention.

  • Cortical GABAergic inhibition has a crucial role in regulating the gain of sensory responses.

    “Although recent work has identified some potential mechanisms for excitatory regulation of cortical gain97,98, several lines of evidence suggest that cortical GABAergic inhibition has a crucial role in regulating the gain of sensory responses5,99,100 (FIG. 1).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
