The role of inhibition in hippocampal coding Manuel Valero, PhD NYU Neuroscience Institute, New York University (US) The fundamental computation a single neuron performs is to integrate incoming excitatory and inhibitory inputs to decide whether to fire an action potential and feedback its activity into the network. Investigation of this synaptic computation requires access to ... Read more
