Review for NeurIPS paper: Lamina-specific neuronal properties promote robust, stable signal propagation in feedforward networks

Weaknesses: Although I believe the intrinsic difference of neurons could benefit for information transmission, I have some conceptual questions. I think properly answer these questions in the Discussion or briefly mention some of them in author feedback could improve the impact of this work in general. Whether a network is an integrator of a differentiator is highly determined by the value of \beta. Is it possible with an intermediate value of \beta, the network's output is proportional to the input, i.e., the network simply relay the input but neither differentiating or integrating. In this case, we probably only need one layer to transmit the input without the cascade of an integrator and a differentiator.
