Cartoon Model of Co-Tuning (Top) and Differential Tuning (Bottom) of Excitation and Inhibition

Caption

Subthreshold direction selectivity is inherited from synaptic conductances when co-tuned. Differential tuning of excitation (Ge) and inhibition (Gi) can preferentially suppress excitation and enhance subthreshold selectivity. With differential tuning, inhibition can be either bidirectional or oppositely tunned for direction relative to excitation.
