Inhibition Shapes Response Selectivity in the Inferior Colliculus by Gain Modulation

Pharmacological block of inhibition is often used to determine if inhibition contributes to spike selectivity, in which a preferred stimulus evokes more spikes than a null stimulus. When inhibitory block reduces spike selectivity, a common interpretation is that differences between the preferred- an...
