Synaptic diversity naturally arises from neural decoding of heterogeneous populations

Abstract excerpt

The synaptic inputs to single cortical neurons exhibit substantial diversity in their sensory-driven activity. What this diversity reflects is unclear, and appears counter-productive in generating selective somatic responses to specific stimuli. We propose that synaptic diversity arises because neurons decode information from upstream populations. Focusing on a single sensory variable, orientation, we construct a...
