Structural specificity is related to the anisotropic character of the inhibitory kernel.
Schematic representation of various inhibitory schemata. The strength of inhibition b is fixed to 0.5. To probe further into the function of long-range inhibition, we conducted simulations with uniformly distributed inhibitory couplings that have no skips and drop off uniformly with distance. In figure 6 c a RF with quasi-odd symmetry is shown.
