Imbalance of Excitation and Inhibition at Threshold Level In the Auditory Cortex

The interplay of cortical excitation and inhibition is a fundamental feature of cortical information processing. Excitation and inhibition in single cortical neurons are balanced in their response to optimal sensory stimulation due to thalamocortical feedforward microcircuitry. It is unclear wheth...
