Bidirectionality has a weak effect on feature selectivity. (a and c) Excess bidirectionality within the excitatory population (a) and between excitatory and inhibitory populations (c) have no effect on the selectivity of excitatory (top) and inhibitory (bottom) neurons. Excess bidirectionality between the inhibitory neurons slightly decreases the selectivity of excitatory neurons (b, top) while it slightly increases the selectivity in inhibitory population (b, bottom).
