Dynamics of Encoding in a Population of Neurons

نویسنده

  • Bruce W. Knight
چکیده

A simple encoder model, which is a reasonable idealization from known electrophysiological properties, yields a population in which the variation of the firing rate with time is a perfect replica of the shape of the input stimulus. A population of noise-free encoders which depart even slightly from the simple model yield a very much degraded copy of the input stimulus. The presence of noise improves the performance of such a population. The firing rate of a population of neurons is related to the firing rate of a single member in a subtle way.

Stochastic functional population dynamics with jumps

In this paper we use a class of stochastic functional Kolmogorov-type model with jumps to describe the evolutions of population dynamics. By constructing a special Lyapunov function, we show that the stochastic functional differential equation associated with our model admits a unique global solution in the positive orthant, and, by the exponential martingale inequality with jumps, we dis...

Population Dynamics of Iran from Sociological Approach

This paper examines intergenerational transmission associated with population dynamics from sociological approach. The discussion is based on the analysis of observations in a country that has experienced substantial changes in family formation resulting in one of the world's most spectacular falls in women's birth rate ever experienced in human history: Iran. Facing fundamental historical expe...

Dynamics of population rate codes in ensembles of neocortical neurons.

Information processing in neocortex can be very fast, indicating that neuronal ensembles faithfully transmit rapidly changing signals to each other. Apart from signal-to-noise issues, population codes are fundamentally constrained by the neuronal dynamics. In particular, the biophysical properties of individual neurons and collective phenomena may substantially limit the speed at which a graded...

Immunohistochemistric study of the intra-cardiac ganglia of the pig heart

Heart contains a variety of neurons known to influence cardiac functions. Little is known about the neurochemistry of these neurons. In this study, neurochemistry of intra cardiac neurons of the intrinsic cardiac ganglia was investigated. The technique used allows studying the morphology of the ganglionated nerve plexus found within the atria and great cardiac vessels as well as of individual n...
