Training dynamically balanced excitatory-inhibitory networks
The construction of biologically plausible models of neural circuits is crucial for understanding the computational properties of the nervous system. Constructing functional networks composed of separate excitatory and inhibitory neurons obeying Dale's law presents a number of challenges. We show how a target-based approach, when combined with a fast online constrained optimization technique, is capable of building functional models of rate and spiking recurrent neural networks in which excitation and inhibition are balanced. Balanced networks can be trained to produce complicated temporal patterns and to solve input-output tasks while retaining biologically desirable features such as Dale's law and response variability.

Robust entropy requires strong and balanced excitatory and inhibitory synapses
It is widely appreciated that well-balanced excitation and inhibition are necessary for proper function in neural networks. However, in principle, such balance could be achieved by many possible configurations of excitat…
BackEISNN: A Deep Spiking Neural Network with Adaptive Self-Feedback and Balanced Excitatory-Inhibitory Neurons
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) transmit information through discrete spikes, which performs well in processing spatial-temporal information. Due to the non-differentiable characteristic, there still exist difficulties in…
Unsupervised learning by a nonlinear network with Hebbian excitatory and anti-Hebbian inhibitory neurons
This paper introduces a rate-based nonlinear neural network in which excitatory (E) neurons receive feedforward excitation from sensory (S) neurons, and inhibit each other through disynaptic pathways mediated by inhibito…
The Hamiltonian brain: efficient probabilistic inference with excitatory-inhibitory neural circuit dynamics
Probabilistic inference offers a principled framework for understanding both behaviour and cortical computation. However, two basic and ubiquitous properties of cortical responses seem difficult to reconcile with probabi…
Inhibitory loop robustly induces anticipated synchronization in neuronal microcircuits
We investigate the synchronization properties between two excitatory coupled neurons in the presence of an inhibitory loop mediated by an interneuron. Dynamical inhibition together with noise independently applied to eac…
