Parvalbumin-expressing interneurons linearly transform cortical responses to visual stimuli
BV Atallah, W Bruns, M Carandini, M Scanziani - Neuron, 2012 - cell.com
The response of cortical neurons to a sensory stimulus is shaped by the network in which
they are embedded. Here we establish a role of parvalbumin (PV)-expressing cells, a large …
