Role of Presynaptic Inhibition in Stabilizing Neural Networks
Presynaptic inhibition plays a crucial role in stabilizing neural networks by rapidly counteracting recurrent excitation in the face of plasticity. This mechanism prevents runaway excitation and maintains network stability, as demonstrated in computational models by Laura Bella Naumann and Henning S
