To understand the information processing in a neuronal network, we need to investigate the functions of excitatory and inhibitory cells. In this study, we explored the response of putative excitatory and inhibitory cells in the inferotemporal cortex that were classified by the duration of extracellular spike waveform. The mean firing rate of putative inhibitory cells to the object images with long-term visual experience were larger than the mean firing rate of putative excitatory cells. In addition, we found that stimulus selectivity of putative excitatory was higher than that for putative inhibitory cells. The results demonstrated a cell-type dependency of stimulus selectivity, which may contribute to the modeling on object recognition in the inferotemporal cortex. |
