Balanced excitation and inhibition are required for high-capacity, noise-robust neuronal selectivity [Neuroscience]

Neurons and networks in the cerebral cortex must operate reliably despite multiple sources of noise. To evaluate the impact of both input and output noise, we determine the robustness of single-neuron stimulus selective responses, as well as the robustness of attractor states of networks of neurons performing memory tasks. We...
