Descending pathways increase sensory neural response heterogeneity to facilitate decoding and behavior
Summary: The functional role of heterogeneous spiking responses of otherwise similarly tuned neurons to stimulation, which has been observed ubiquitously, remains unclear to date. Here, we demonstrate that such response heterogeneity serves a beneficial function that is used by downstream brain area...
