By Omer Revah, Fred W Wolf, Michael Gutnick, Andreas Neef
| biorxiv.org
Abstract Cortical function reflects the activities of populations of neurons. How accurately they can encode information depends on the speed with which each neuron can respond to input, as revealed by dynamic gain analysis. Theory predicts that the determinants of a population's dynamic gain - cell number, cell size and the correlation time of the background noise - control the speed with which the population can respond to input.

In Layer 4 of the rodent barrel cortex, a finite population of interconnected, small, excitatory neurons rapidly and briefly relays input from the specific thalamus to the rest of the cortical column.
