From: The computational properties of a simplified cortical column model
The effect of excitatory perturbations on the firing rate of subpopulations of the cortical column model. Three different excitatory perturbations of 20 Hz were applied to layers of the model. The first two excited neurons in only layer 2/3, while the third was the sum of the first two. The effect of this third perturbation was additive in the deviation of firing rate of layer 2/3 inhibitory neurons, but subtractive in layer 5 deviation.
