Topic: synchronized dynamics

The physiological properties of neurons influence their population dynamics to shape neural computation and behavior. These physiological properties are diverse: the brain is composed of many genetically distinct neuronal cell types with pronounced physiological and functional differences. But neurons of the same cell type are also not identical, and exhibit heterogeneity in their physiological properties. We call this "within-type" heterogeneity, in contrast to the former, "between-type" heterogeneity. Whereas the contributions of distinct neuron types to neural network dynamics has been stud
