Cellular and circuit mechanisms maintain low spike co-variability and enhance population coding in somatosensory cortex
The responses of cortical neurons are highly variable across repeated presentations of a stimulus. Understanding this variability is critical for theories of both sensory and motor processing, since response variance affects the accuracy of neural codes. Despite this influence, the cellular and ci...
