Neural populations can induce reliable postsynaptic currents without observable spike rate changes or precise spike timing.
Fine temporal patterns of firing in much of the brain are highly irregular. In some circuits, the precise pattern of irregularity contains information beyond that contained in mean firing rates. However, the capacity of neural circuits to use this additional information for computational purposes is not well understood. Here we employ computational methods to show that an ensemble of neurons fi...
متن کاملPrecise spike timing in silicon
31 32 A fundamental question in neuroscience is how neurons perform precise operations despite inherent variability. This 33 question also applies to neuromorphic engineering, where low-power microchips emulate the brain using large 34 populations of diverse silicon neurons. Biological neurons in the auditory pathway display precise spike timing— 35 critical for sound localization and interpret...
متن کاملReliable control of spike rate and spike timing by rapid input transients in cerebellar stellate cells.
Granule cell activity in cerebellar cortex directly excites Purkinje cells via parallel fibers, but it also inhibits Purkinje cells via cerebellar cortical interneurons. This contribution of inhibitory interneurons to cerebellar cortical processing remains poorly understood. In the present study we examined the response properties of stellate cells in vitro to input patterns that may result fro...
متن کاملCholinergic modulation of spike timing and spike rate
Little is known about the constraints that neuromodulation places upon neural coding. We investigated the relationship between cholinergic modulation of spike timing and rate in a compartment model of a neocortical neuron. Our results suggest that cholinergic modulation of spike timing is directly related to the modulation of spike rate via the insertion of new spikes, and that spike timing is ...
متن کاملSpike timing precision changes with spike rate adaptation in the owl's auditory space map.
Spike rate adaptation (SRA) is a continuing change of responsiveness to ongoing stimuli, which is ubiquitous across species and levels of sensory systems. Under SRA, auditory responses to constant stimuli change over time, relaxing toward a long-term rate often over multiple timescales. With more variable stimuli, SRA causes the dependence of spike rate on sound pressure level to shift toward t...
