When Branch-Local Shunting Helps: A Gain-Load-Alignment Principle for Dendritic E/I Networks
Houman Safaai, Maceo Richards, Naeem Khoshnevis +1
Biological neurons combine excitatory and inhibitory (E/I) activity on branched dendrites through shunting, in which inhibition divisively attenuates excitation. Whether this impro…
