Abstract | The paper presents results of modeling global and focal loss of layers in a multi-columnar model of neocortex. Specifically, the spread of activity across columns in conditions of inhibitory blockade is compared. With very low inhibition activity spreads through all layers, however, deep layers are critical for spread of activity when inhibition is only moderately blocked. |
