provided by pyramidal neurons, and inhibition, provided by interneurons. Imbalance of the
excitation/inhibition ratio has been identified in several neuropsychiatric diseases, such as
schizophrenia, autism and epilepsy, which also present with other cognitive deficits and
symptoms associated with prefrontal cortical (PFC) dysfunction. We undertook a
computational approach to study how changes in the excitation/inhibition balance in a PFC …
