Neuronal Networks with NMDARs and Lateral Inhibition Implement Winner-Takes-All
A neural circuit that relies on the electrical properties of NMDA synaptic receptors is shown by numerical and theoretical analysis to be capable of realizing the winner-takes-all function, a powerful computational primitive that is often attributed to biological nervous systems. This biophysically-...
