Orientation selectivity in inhibition-dominated networks of spiking neurons: effect of single neuron properties and network dynamics.

The neuronal mechanisms underlying the emergence of orientation selectivity in the primary visual cortex of mammals are still elusive. In rodents, visual neurons show highly selective responses to oriented stimuli, but neighboring neurons do not necessarily have similar preferences. Instead of a smo...
