Recent in vivo intracellular measurements indicate that cortical neurons operate in a highconductance state mainly caused by intense network activity. Biophysical models of morpho...
During activated states in vivo, neocortical neurons are subject to intense synaptic activity and high-amplitude membrane potential ðVmÞ fluctuations. These ‘‘high-conducta...

A general feature of the cerebral cortex is its massive interconnectivity-ithas been estimatedanatomically 15 that cortical neurons receive on the order of 10,000 synapses, the ma...
Asymmetric lateral connections are one possible mechanism that can account for the direction selectivity of cortical neurons. We present a mathematical analysis for a class of the...
