Popis: Self-sustained neural activity maintained through local recurrent connections is of fundamental importance to cortical function. Converging theoretical and experimental evidence indicates that cortical circuits generating self-sustained dynamics operate in an inhibition-stabilized regime. Theoretical work has established that four sets of weights ( W E←E , W E←I , W I←E , and W I←I ) must obey specific relationships to produce inhibition-stabilized dynamics, but it is not known how the brain can appropriately set the values of all four weight classes in an unsupervised manner to be in the inhibition-stabilized regime. We prove that standard homeostatic plasticity rules are generally unable to generate inhibition-stabilized dynamics and that their instability is caused by a signature property of inhibition-stabilized networks: the paradoxical effect. In contrast, we show that a family of “cross-homeostatic” rules overcome the paradoxical effect and robustly lead to the emergence of stable dynamics. This work provides a model of how—beginning from a silent network—self-sustained inhibition-stabilized dynamics can emerge from learning rules governing all four synaptic weight classes in an orchestrated manner.
