In adult cortical circuits, the ratio of excitatory and inhibitory conductances is presumably balanced across a wide range of stimulus conditions.However, it is unknown how the E/I ratio is postnatally regulated, when the strength of synapses are rapidly changing.Yet, understanding of such a process is critically important, because there are numerous neuropsychological disorders, such as autism,epilepsy and schizophrenia, are associated with disturbed E/I balances.
