Tuning Curves, Neuronal Variability, and Sensory Coding
Tuning curves are widely used to characterize the responses of sensory neurons to external stimuli, but there is an ongoing debate as to their role in sensory processing. Commonly, it is assumed that a neuron's role is to encode the stimulus at the tuning curve peak, because high firing rates are the neuron's most distinct responses. In contrast, many theoretical and empirical studies have note...
متن کاملNeural variability, detection thresholds, and information transmission in the vestibular system.
A fundamental issue in neural coding is the role of spike timing variation in information transmission of sensory stimuli. Vestibular afferents are particularly well suited to study this issue because they are classified as either regular or irregular based on resting discharge variability as well as morphology. Here, we compared the responses of each afferent class to sinusoidal and random hea...

15 صفحه اولNeural coding: linear models
In the first, the field is defined by a technique. In the second, it is defined by an idea. Let’s discuss these two definitions in more depth. Why use a computer to study the brain? The most compelling reason is the tor rential flow of data generated by neurophysiology experiments. Today it is common to simultaneously record the signals generated by tens of neurons in an awake behaving animal....
متن کاملA ROTATORY MANEUVER TO REDUCE IMBALANCE OF THE VESTIBULAR SYSTEM IN PATIENTS WITH VESTIBULAR VERTIGO
In an attempt to diminish the intensity of vertigo, this study was designed to reduce the imbalance between the vestibular system on the two sides. By rotating the subjects with a string-activated rotating chair in opposite direction of the dominant side, the dominant side would be inhibited and simultaneously the subordinate ide would be stimulated. Eight patients with vestibular vertigo c...
