Distinct computational roles of excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the macaque inferior temporal cortex for core object recognition
~
Excitation–inhibition balance is central to cortical computation, but the roles of each population remain unclear. I show that excitatory and inhibitory neurons make distinct, complementary contributions to neural representations and object recognition behavior, providing a framework for studying E/I imbalance in autism.
