Pulvinar Thalamic Nucleus allows for Asynchronous Spike Propagation through the Cortex

We create two multilayered feedforward networks composed of excitatoryand inhibitory integrate-and-fire neurons in the balanced state toinvestigate the role of cortico-pulvino-cortical connections. Thefirst network consists of ten feedforward levels where a Poisson spiketrain with varying firing rat...
