[Evaluation of synaptic potential dynamics from evoked impulse activity of neurons]

To evaluate intracellular potentials in the region of spike initiation of function lambda (t) is suggested which describes the dependence on time of the density of conditional probability of generation by the neuron of the first impulse in response to the stimulus. Qualitative correspondence of the dynamics of membrane potentials and function lambda (t) is demonstrated on the analog model. The application of the function lambda (t) to the classification of the neurons of auditory system is shown to be promising. The difference between the function lambda (t) and normalized poststimulus histogram allows to evaluate the refracteriness of the neuron.
