Synaptic transmission: Noisy synapses and noisy neurons
The finding that the synapses relaying sensory input to the cortex may have different properties than intracortical synapses has implications not only for sensory processing, but for the role of noise in neural computation as well.
متن کاملNoisy Neurons, Neat Networks
In this issue of Neuron, Kiani et al. (2015) show that the correlated activity of multiple simultaneously recorded neurons can be used to identify, in a completely un-biased manner, distinct functional domains within prefrontal and (pre)motor cortex of macaque monkeys.
متن کاملMultiplication with noisy spiking neurons
Multiplication is an operation which is fundamental in mathematics, but it is also relevant for many sensory computations in the nervous system. Nevertheless, despite a number of suggestions in the literature, it is not known how multiplication is implemented in neural circuitry. We propose a simple feedforward circuit that combines a rate model of neural activity and a realistic input-output r...
متن کاملOptimal Transmission Policies for Noisy Channels
We consider transmission policies for multiple users sharing a single wireless link to a base station. The noise, and hence the probability of correct transmission of a packet, depends on the state of the user receiving the packet. The state for each user is independent of the states of the other users and changes according to a two-state (good/bad) Markov chain. The state of a user is observed...
متن کاملStochastic resonance in noisy threshold neurons
Stochastic resonance occurs when noise improves how a nonlinear system performs. This paper presents two general stochastic-resonance theorems for threshold neurons that process noisy Bernoulli input sequences. The performance measure is Shannon mutual information. The theorems show that small amounts of independent additive noise can increase the mutual information of threshold neurons if the ...
