“…In principle, considering a target neuron and a pool of inhibitory interneurons, each time an afferent spike arrives, the inhibitory pool shunts down the efficacy of spike integration of the target neuron by the means of shunting inhibition. Simple implementations of such a neural coding proved their power in dealing with large amounts of information [4,18,19,21]. The enormous encoding power of this scheme has been outlined by S.J.…”
