More coherent excitatory stimuli are known to have a competitive advantage over less coherent ones. We show here that this advantage is amplified greatly when the target includes inhibitory intemeurons acting via GABAA-receptor- mediated synapses and the coherent input oscillates at gamma frequency. We hypothesize that therein lies, at least in part, the functional significance of the experimental... read morely observed link between attentional biasing of stimulus competition and gamma frequency rhythmicity.read less
