An Analytically Solvable Model of Firing Rate Heterogeneity in Balanced State Networks
Distributions of neuronal activity within cortical circuits are often found to display highly skewed shapes with many neurons emitting action potentials at low or vanishing rates, while some are active at high rates. Theoretical studies were able to reproduce such distributions, but come with a lack of mathematical tractability, preventing a deeper understanding of the impact of model parameters. In this study, using the Gauss-Rice neuron model, we present a balanced-state cortical circuit model for which the firing rate distribution can be exactly calculated. It offers selfconsistent solutions to recurrent neuronal networks and allows for the combination of multiple neuronal populations, with single or multiple synaptic receptors (e.g. AMPA and NMDA in excitatory populations), paving the way for a deeper understanding of how firing rate distributions are impacted by single neuron or synaptic properties.
