Receptive field sizes and neuronal encoding bandwidth are constrained by axonal conduction delays
Fig 7
Conduction delays in a population act as an information filter.
A: Average mutual information carried by heterogeneous populations of increasing population size that are subjected to varying simulated conduction delays. B: Mutual information as a function of conduction delay compared for the three different spectral bands. High frequency information is more strongly affected than low-frequency content. Mutual information is normalized to the zero-delay performance, a population size of 20 neurons was chosen here.
