Population rate codes carried by mean, fluctuation and synchrony of neuronal firings
A population of firing neurons is expected to carry information not only by mean firing rate but also by fluctuation and synchrony among neurons. In order to examine this possibility, we have studied responses of neuronal ensembles to three kinds of inputs: mean-, fluctuation-and synchrony-driven inputs. The generalized rate-code model including additive and multiplica-tive noise (H. Hasegawa, ...
متن کاملResponses of neuronal ensembles to mean-driven, fluctuation-driven and synchrony-driven rate-code inputs
Equations of motion for mean firing rate, fluctuation and synchrony have been derived with the use of the augmented moment method (AMM) for the generalized rate-code model including additive and multiplicative noise (H. Hasegawa, Phys. Rev. E 75, 051904 (2007)). We have investigated the response of a neuronal ensemble to three kinds of inputs: mean-driven, fluctuation-driven and synchrony-drive...
متن کاملEstimating the Amount of Information Carried by a Neuronal Population
Although all brain functions require coordinated activity of many neurons, it has been difficult to estimate the amount of information carried by a population of spiking neurons. We present here a Fourier-based method for estimating the information delivery rate from a population of neurons, which allows us to measure the redundancy of information within and between functional neuronal classes....
متن کاملInterspecific synchrony of seabird population growth rate and breeding success
Environmental variability can destabilize communities by causing correlated interspecific fluctuations that weaken the portfolio effect, yet evidence of such a mechanism is rare in natural systems. Here, we ask whether the population dynamics of similar sympatric species of a seabird breeding community are synchronized, and if these species have similar exceptional responses to environmental va...
متن کاملData-Robust Tight Lower Bounds to the Information Carried by Spike Times of a Neuronal Population
We develop new data-robust lower-bound methods to quantify the information carried by the timing of spikes emitted by neuronal populations. These methods have better sampling properties and are tighter than previous bounds based on neglecting correlation in the noise entropy. Our new lower bounds are precise also in the presence of strongly correlated firing. They are not precise only if correl...
