Mechanisms of Gain Modulation
Understanding how neural circuits adjust their sensitivity to inputs
This review synthesizes our current understanding of how neural circuits adjust their sensitivity to inputs - a process called gain modulation. We discuss how different types of neurons contribute to this fundamental computation and its importance for flexible behavior.
