In the Firing-rate-based population model section (Materials and methods) we say that, in the baseline activity steady-state, the background currents needed to obtain the desired rates are 136.4, 238.8, 92.6 and 91.8 pA. These values are wrong because they correspond to a previous version of the model with a different connectivity matrix and therefore using them, the baseline activity steady-state cannot be reproduced. The correct values of the background current for the baseline activity steady-state that correspond to the connectivity matrix given in Table 1 should be 114.7, 233.6, 94.3 and 89.9 pA for pyramidal, PV, SST and VIP respectively.

We have therefore updated the sentence “For example, for the baseline activity steady-state the background currents needed to obtain the desired rates (1, 10, 3 and 2 Hz for pyramidal, PV, SST and VIP, respectively) are 136.4, 238.8, 92.6 and 91.8 pA.’ to now read “For example, for the baseline activity steady-state the background currents needed to obtain the desired rates (1, 10, 3 and 2 Hz for pyramidal, PV, SST and VIP, respectively) are 114.7, 233.6, 94.3 and 89.9 pA.’

We apologize for any confusion that may have occurred.

The article has been corrected accordingly.
