Inhibition Lateral

Inhibition is a process that occurs in the nervous system and allows you to regulate the activity of neurons. One type of inhibition is lateral inhibition.

Lateral inhibition is the inhibition of T-neurons located adjacent to the excited T-neuron groups of the projection zones of the cerebral cortex. Lateral inhibition underlies induced inhibition.

When T neurons fire, they can cause neighboring T neurons to fire. However, if neighboring T-neuron groups are in a state of excitation, this can lead to inhibition of the first T-neurons and a decrease in their activity.

Thus, lateral inhibition can be used to regulate neuronal activity in the cerebral cortex and maintain a balance between excitation and inhibition. This mechanism is essential for the normal functioning of the nervous system and can be used in the treatment of various neurological disorders.

Lateral inhibition is a process in which nerve impulses are sent to neurons located adjacent (in projection) to the excited neuron and cause their activity in response to excitation. However, it should be noted that there are several types of lateral inhibition. Below I will describe each of them in detail.

P-type inhibition or inhibitory aftereffect is one of the forms of lateral inhibition that occurs as a result of excitation of a receptor located next to neurons that want to influence a neighboring receptive cell. For example, when a person strokes his hand and then makes a fist, this will irritate nearby receptors and ultimately cause inhibition or inhibition of neurons in the projection.

However, lateral inhibition can also result from a process of induction, in which the excitation of one neuron stimulates other neurons around it. For example, if a person looks at the color red on a computer screen, then he can see this color with other eyes. This occurs due to induction between the two eyes, which causes suppression of excitation on one side of the eye.
