Shunting inhibition controls the gain modulation mediated by asynchronous neurotransmitter release in early development.
The sensitivity of a neuron to its input can be modulated in several ways. Changes in the slope of the neuronal input-output curve depend on factors such as shunting inhibition, background noise, frequency-dependent synaptic excitation, and balanced excitation and inhibition. However, in early devel...
