Before revision:  We propose that the brain operates away from this  regime of low inhibitory fraction to protect itself from the dominating avalanches present in these extended distributions  .
After revision:  We propose that the brain operates away from this regime of low inhibitory fraction to protect itself from the dominating avalanches present in these extended distributions . We present control strategies that curtail these power law distributions through either random or, more effectively, targeted disabling of excitatory neurons .
