N2  - The presence of a large number of inhibitory contacts at the soma and axon
initial segment of cortical pyramidal cells has inspired a large and influential
class of neural network model which use post-integration lateral inhibition as a
mechanism for competition between nodes. However, inhibitory synapses also
target the dendrites of pyramidal cells. The role of this dendritic inhibition
in competition between neurons has not previously been addressed. We
demonstrate, using a simple computational model, that such pre-integration
lateral inhibition provides networks of neurons with useful representational and
computational properties which are not provided by post-integration
inhibition.
