Graded synaptic transmission between spiking neurons.
Graded synaptic transmission occurs between spiking neurons of the lobster stomatogastric ganglion. In addition to eliciting spike-evoked inhibitory potentials in postsynaptic cells, these neurons also release functionally significant amounts of transmitter below the threshold for action potentials. The spikeless postsynaptic potentials grade in amplitude with presynaptic voltage and can be mai...
متن کاملInformation transmission with spiking Bayesian neurons
Spike trains of cortical neurons resulting from repeated presentations of a stimulus are variable and exhibit Poisson-like statistics. Many models of neural coding therefore assumed that sensory information is contained in instantaneous firing rates, not spike times. Here, we ask how much information about time-varying stimuli can be transmitted by spiking neurons with such input and output var...
متن کاملReliability and information transmission in spiking neurons.
Spiking neurons encode continuous, time-varying signals in sequences of identical action potentials. Relatively simple algorithms allow one to 'decode' this neural representation of sensory data to estimate the input signals. Decoding experiments provide a quantitative characterization of information transmission and computational reliability under real-time conditions. The results of these stu...
متن کاملFast synaptic transmission between striatal spiny projection neurons.
Striatal inhibition plays an important role in models of cortex-basal ganglia function and is altered in many basal ganglia diseases. The gamma-aminobutyric acid ergic spiny projection neuron comprises >95% of striatal neurons, but despite strong anatomical evidence, the electrophysiological properties and functions of their local axon collaterals are unknown. We simultaneously recorded from ad...
متن کاملNitric oxide regulates synaptic transmission between spiny projection neurons.
Recurrent axon collaterals are a major means of communication between spiny projection neurons (SPNs) in the striatum and profoundly affect the function of the basal ganglia. However, little is known about the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie this communication. We show that intrastriatal nitric oxide (NO) signaling elevates the expression of the vesicular GABA transporter (VGAT)...
