Modeling synaptic transmission: Stochastic Dynamics

This lecture covers the modeling of synaptic transmission, focusing on stochastic dynamics, vesicle release models, inhibitory innervation domains, and the effects of inhibition. It discusses parameters like release probability, peak conductance, and recovery time constants. The instructor explains the structure of synaptic connections, the dynamics of excitatory and inhibitory synapses, and the reliability of synaptic transmission. The lecture also delves into the Poissonian recovery of vesicles, the facilitation dynamics, and the impact of inhibitory post-synaptic potentials on EPSPs.
