Perturbation sensitivity implies high noise and suggests rate coding in cortex (London et al. 2010)

"... The network simulations were also based on a previously published model(Latham et al. 2000), but with modifications to allow the addition and detection of extra spikes (see Supplementary Information, section 7)."
