Modeling the CN neuronal circuitry and synaptic currents (excitatory and inhibitory) for edge indentation stimulus. (A) The primary afferents make excitatory synaptic connections with both PN and IN sub-populations. Their synaptic types are indicated by red (excitatory) and blue (inhibitory) triangles. Input currents of 100 PNs when full (B) and partial (C) inhibition comes from INs to PNs while edge stimulus indents the mechanoreceptor grid. Two peaks in the current traces are generated by the onset and end of the indentation profile. (D) Performance of the spiking network when the amount of lateral inhibition is increased within the CN model.
