Tuning of neuronal inputs. (A) Tuning of the mean input from excitatory (red) and inhibitory (blue) neuron populations, and of the external input (green). Shown are four sample neurons, for stimulations at the medium contrast. EPSP = 0.2 mV. The total recurrent input (excitatory + inhibitory), and the net modulation of the input (external + total recurrent) are also plotted (in black and orange, respectively). The input is computed by replacing each presynaptic spike by an alpha kernel and computing the mean amplitude of the shot-noise signal (in mV/ms). 1 mV/ms corresponds to a mean membrane potential at the spike threshold of the neurons in our simulations. (B) Same for twelve sample neurons, along with their mean values (thicker lines).
