Topic: balanced recurrent networks

The specific topology of biological neural networks is believed to be one of the most important ingredients of the nervous system's computational capabilities. Furthermore, multiple experimental studies have demonstrated that neural connectivity is highly inhomogeneous, following different patterns between different regions and neuron types. In particular, the presence of clusters of highly interconnected neurons is one of the most well-established connectivity patterns across multiple brain areas. Still, the functional implications of such brain connectivity features, especially for the perfo
