Summary:
Brains are believed to be capable of information processing with remarkable efficiency but low metabolic cost. Here we provide computational evidence that salient features of irregular firing, oscillations and criticality in cortical activity can be simultaneously accounted in a generic neural circuit capturing the excitation-inhibition balance with realistic synaptic dynamics. Their simultaneous organization achieves maximal information efficiency and minimal firing rate.
