Self-tuning of neural circuits through short-term synaptic plasticity.
Numerous experimental data show that cortical networks of neurons are not silent in the absence of external inputs, but rather maintain a low spontaneous firing activity. This aspect of cortical networks is likely to be important for their computational function, but is hard to reproduce in models of cortical circuits of neurons because the low-activity regime is inherently unstable. Here we sh...
متن کاملThe Self-Tuning Neuron: Synaptic Scaling of Excitatory Synapses
Homeostatic synaptic scaling is a form of synaptic plasticity that adjusts the strength of all of a neuron's excitatory synapses up or down to stabilize firing. Current evidence suggests that neurons detect changes in their own firing rates through a set of calcium-dependent sensors that then regulate receptor trafficking to increase or decrease the accumulation of glutamate receptors at synapt...
متن کاملSynaptic Plasticity Enables Adaptive Self-Tuning Critical Networks
During rest, the mammalian cortex displays spontaneous neural activity. Spiking of single neurons during rest has been described as irregular and asynchronous. In contrast, recent in vivo and in vitro population measures of spontaneous activity, using the LFP, EEG, MEG or fMRI suggest that the default state of the cortex is critical, manifested by spontaneous, scale-invariant, cascades of activ...
متن کاملAdaptive Neural Oscillator with Synaptic Plasticity Enabling Fast Resonance Tuning
Rhythmic neural circuits play an important role in biological systems in particular in motion generation. They can be entrained by sensory feedback to induce rhythmic motion at a natural frequency, leading to energy-efficient motion. In addition, such circuits can even store the entrained rhythmical patterns through connection weights. Inspired by this, we introduce an adaptive discrete-time ne...
متن کاملNonmonotonic Synaptic Excitation and Imbalanced Inhibition Underlying Cortical Intensity Tuning
Intensity-tuned neurons, characterized by their nonmonotonic response-level function, may play important roles in the encoding of sound intensity-related information. The synaptic mechanisms underlying intensity tuning remain unclear. Here, in vivo whole-cell recordings in rat auditory cortex revealed that intensity-tuned neurons, mostly clustered in a posterior zone, receive imbalanced tone-ev...
