Balanced inhibition underlies tuning and sharpens spike timing in auditory cortex
Michael Wehr,Anthony M. Zador +1 more
TL;DR: Although inhibition is typically as strong as excitation, it is not necessary to establish tuning, even in the receptive field surround, and Balanced inhibition might serve to increase the temporal precision and thereby reduce the randomness of cortical operation, rather than to increase noise as has been proposed previously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postsynaptic Receptor Trafficking Underlying a Form of Associative Learning
Simon Rumpel,Joseph E. LeDoux,Joseph E. LeDoux,Anthony M. Zador,Anthony M. Zador,Roberto Malinow,Roberto Malinow +6 more
TL;DR: It is reported that fear conditioning drives AMPA-type glutamate receptors into the synapse of a large fraction of postsynaptic neurons in the lateral amygdala, a brain structure essential for this learning process and memory was reduced if AMPA receptor synaptic incorporation was blocked.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sparse Representation of Sounds in the Unanesthetized Auditory Cortex
TL;DR: The results represent the first quantitative evidence for sparse representations of sounds in the unanesthetized auditory cortex, and are compatible with a model in which most neurons are silent much of the time, and in which representations are composed of small dynamic subsets of highly active neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Input synchrony and the irregular firing of cortical neurons.
TL;DR: It is reported that independent inputs cannot account for this high variability, but this variability can be explained by a simple alternative model of the synaptic drive in which inputs arrive synchronously.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural scene statistics at the centre of gaze
Pamela Reinagel,Anthony M. Zador +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that active selection affected the statistics of the stimuli encountered by the fovea, and also by the parafovea up to eccentricities of 4 degrees, and that both effects can be simply obtained by constructing an artificial ensemble comprised of the highest-contrast regions of images.
