One possibility is that this diversity reflects the propagation of information from one neural population to another. To test this possibility, we bridge population coding theory with measurements of synaptic inputs recorded <i>in vivo</i> with two-photon calcium imaging. We construct a probabilistic decoder to estimate the stimulus orientation from the responses of a realistic, hypothetical input population of neurons to compare with synaptic inputs onto individual neurons of ferret primary visual cortex (V1) recorded with two-photon calcium imaging <i>in vivo</i>. We find that optimal decoding requires diverse input weights and provides a straightforward mapping from the decoder weights to excitatory synapses. Analytically derived weights for biologically realistic input populations closely matched the functional heterogeneity of dendritic spines imaged <i>in vivo</i> with two-photon calcium imaging. Our results indicate that synaptic diversity is a necessary component of information transmission and reframes studies of connectivity through the lens of probabilistic population codes.

Despite the considerable interest in their potential analgesic effects, there is evidence that endocannabinoids can have both pro-nociceptive and anti-nociceptive effects. The mechanisms contributing to the opposing effects of endocannabinoids in nociception need to be better understood before cannabinoid-based therapies can be effectively utilized to treat pain. Using the medicinal leech, <i>Hirudo verbana</i>, this work investigates whether endocannabinoids modulate tonic inhibition onto non-nociceptive afferents. In voltage clamp recordings, we analyzed changes in the tonic inhibition in pressure-sensitive (P) cells following pre-treatment with endocannabinoids, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) or anandamide (AEA). We also tested whether high frequency stimulation (HFS) of nociceptive (N) cells could also modulate tonic inhibition. Both endocannabinoid application and N cell HFS depressed tonic inhibition in the P cell. Depression of tonic inhibition by N cell HFS was blocked by SB 366791 (a TRPV1 inhibitor). SB 366791 also prevented 2-AG-and AEA-induced depression of tonic inhibition. HFS-induced depression was not blocked by tetrahydrolipstatin (THL), which prevents 2-AG synthesis, nor AM 251 (a CB1 receptor inverse agonist).
