[PDF][PDF] Firing rate homeostasis in visual cortex of freely behaving rodents
It has been postulated that homeostatic mechanisms maintain stable circuit function by keeping
neuronal firing within a set point range, but such firing rate homeostasis has never been …

[PDF][PDF] The stabilized supralinear network: a unifying circuit motif underlying multi-input integration in sensory cortex
Neurons in sensory cortex integrate multiple influences to parse objects and support perception.
Across multiple cortical areas, integration is characterized by two neuronal response …

[PDF][PDF] Neuronal firing rate homeostasis is inhibited by sleep and promoted by wake
…, AT Pacheco, JN McGregor, SD Van Hooser… - Cell, 2016 - cell.com
Homeostatic mechanisms stabilize neural circuit function by keeping firing rates within a set-point
range, but whether this process is gated by brain state is unknown. Here, we …
