Information Capacity and Transmission Are Maximized in Balanced Cortical Networks with Neuronal Avalanches
Information Capacity and Transmission Are Maximized in Balanced Cortical Networks with Neuronal Avalanches
The repertoire of neural activity patterns that a cortical network can produce constrains the ability of the network to transfer and process information. Here, we measured activity patterns obtained from multisite local field potential recordings in cortex cultures, urethane-anesthetized rats, and awake macaque monkeys. First, we quantified the information capacity …
