We investigate the propagation of pulses of spike activity in a neuronal network with feed-forward couplings. The neurons are of the spike-response type with a firing probability that depends linearly on the membrane potential. AFter firing neurons enter a ...
What is the meaning' of a single spike? Spike-triggered averaging (reverse correlations') yields the typical input just before a spike. Similarly, cross-correlations describe the probability of firing an output spike given (one additional) presynaptic in ...
We study how neuronal connections in a population of spiking neurons affect the accuracy of stimulus estimation. Neurons in our model code for a one-dimensional orientation variable ϕ. Connectivity between two neurons depends on the absolute differenc ...
A generalized version of the integrate-and-fire model is presented that qualitatively reproduces firing rates and membrane trajectories of motoneurons. The description is based on the spike-response model and includes 3 different time constants: the passiv ...
Throughout the neocortex, groups of neurons have been found to fire synchronously on the time scale of several milliseconds. This near coincident firing of neurons could coordinate the multifaceted information of different features of a stimulus. The mecha ...
The precise times of occurrence of individual pre- and postsynaptic action potentials are known to play a key role in the modification of synaptic efficacy. Based on stimulation protocols of two synaptically connected neurons, we infer an algorithm that re ...
A description of neuronal activity on the level of ion channels, as in the Hodgkin-Huxley model, leads to a set of coupled nonlinear differential equations which are difficult to analyze. In this paper, we present a conceptual framework for a reduction of ...
An analytical model is proposed that can predict the shape of the poststimulus time histogram (PSTH) response to a current pulse of a neuron subjected to uncorrelated background input. The model is based on an explicit description of noise in the form of a ...
We study analytically a model of long-term synaptic plasticity where synaptic changes are triggered by presynaptic spikes, postsynaptic spikes, and the time differences between pre- and postsynaptic spikes. We show that plasticity can lead to an intrinsic ...
The patent describes a method for representing a network of spiking neurons in a digital microcontrollers and ways to automatically synthetize an architecture for a specific problem using an evolutionary procedure. Both the neural representation and the ev ...
