Summary:
Cortical network shows various activity under the inhibition provided by interneurons. Recent electrophysiological studies revealed that the interneurons played active role in cortical computation such as ocular dominance activity in primary visual cortex. However, it is still unclear how the inhibitory network behaves on synaptic plasticity in local circuit level. Here, we computationally examined behavior and organization of the network consisted of excitatory and inhibitory neuronal groups. As a result, we demonstrate the functional role of inhibitory circuit as a regulator in cortical network organization through the synaptic plasticity.
