Abstract:
The stochastic leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) continuous model is studied under the condition that the amplitude of noise is a function of the input signal. The coefficient of variation (CV) of interspike intervals (ISIs) is investigated for different types of dependencies between the noise and the signal. Finally, we present the CV and the ISI density resulting from the special choice of parameters of the input that gave rise to a contra-intuitive behavior of the transfer function in Lánský and Sacerdote [Phys. Lett. A 285 (2001) 132].

The Role of Ion Channels in Neuronal Computation
Sometimes a single EPSP is strong enough to induce an action potential in the postsynaptic neuron. However, multiple presynaptic inputs must often create EPSPs around the same time for the postsynaptic neuron to be sufficiently depolarized to fire an action potential.

The unit impulse or sample sequence is mathematically expressed as zero for all n values except at n=0, where it is one. The unit impulse sequence, denoted by δ(n), is the first difference of the unit step sequence, while the unit step sequence u(n) is the...
