Many dynamical response properties of cortical neurons have been obtained by studying single neurons one at a time. Yet many aspects of network function emerge from the collective activity of multiple neurons and their mutual synaptic interactions. Despite the abundance of experimental literature on the existence of inter-neuron spike correlations their role for stimulus encoding and network dynamics remains unclear. Here we study the dynamical properties emerging from collective activity in networks with different synaptic composition where excitatory neurons are driven by low-intensity noisy stimulation.
