Cortical circuits operate in a tight excitation/inhibition balance. This balance is relaxed during learning processes, but neither the mechanism nor its impact on network operations are well understood. In the present study, we combined in-vivo and in-vitro neuronal recordings with computational modelling and demonstrated that synaptic plasticity in the afferents from the entorhinal cortex (EC) to the dentate gyrus (DG), in addition to strengthening the glutamatergic inputs into granule cells (GCs), depressed perisomatic inhibition. Computational modelling revealed a functional reorganization in the inhibitory network that explained several experimental findings, including depression of the feed-forward inhibition. In vitro results confirmed a perisomatic dominance of the inhibitory regulation with important functional consequences. It favoured GCs burst firing, improved reliability of input/output transformations and enhanced separation and transmission of temporal and spatial patterns in the EC-DG-CA3 network.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
