Columnar Architecture Improves Noise Robustness in a Model Cortical Network
Fig 8
Increasing inhibition improves discrimination.
Response similarity as in Fig. 6. The plot for decreased inhibition is from the data of Fig. 7B. Response similarity is increased implying worse orientation discrimination. Increased inhibition, from the data of Fig. 7C, shows response similarity is decreased, implying that discrimination is enhanced by increasing inhibition. Both test plots are from the columnar network in both this figure and Fig. 10.
