Extending Stochastic Resonance for Neuron Models to General Lévy Noise

نویسنده

چکیده

A recent paper by Patel and Kosko (2008) demonstrated stochastic resonance (SR) for general feedback continuous and spiking neuron models using additive Lévy noise constrained to have finite second moments. In this brief, we drop this constraint and show that their result extends to general LEvy noise models. We achieve this by showing that "large jump" discontinuities in the noise can be controlled so as to allow the stochastic model to tend to a deterministic one as the noise dissipates to zero. SR then follows by a "forbidden intervals" theorem as in Patel and Kosko's paper.

Stochastic Resonance in Thalamic Neurons and Resonant Neuron Models

Neurons of the thalamus are major participants in gating sensory information for relay to the neocortex. Thalamic neurons are crucially involved in rhythmogenesis which determines the sleep/wake cycle. These roles require critical involvement of a T-type calcium current, conferring a frequency preference in response to subthreshold signals. We examine the interactions of this membrane resonance...

Stochastic resonance in noisy spiking retinal and sensory neuron models

Two new theorems show that small amounts of additive white noise can improve the bit count or mutual information of several popular models of spiking retinal neurons and spiking sensory neurons. The first theorem gives necessary and sufficient conditions for this noise benefit or stochastic resonance (SR) effect for subthreshold signals in a standard family of Poisson spiking models of retinal ...

Stochastic Resonance and Multi-modal Firing Patterns in Single-neuron Models

In analyzing data from experiments on periodically stimulated neurons, the interspike interval histogram shows a multi-modal distribution and under certain conditions, stochastic resonance. We discuss a simple in­ tegrate and fire model of a single neuron which is capable of describing these two features. As input for the neuron we use a periodic signal combined with poisson noise, this gives r...

Stochastic partial differential equations in Neurobiology: linear and nonlinear models for spiking neurons

Stochastic differential equation (SDE) models of nerve cells for the most part neglect the spatial dimension. Including the latter leads to stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) which allow for the inclusion of important variations in the densities of ion channels. In the first part of this work, we briefly consider representations of neuronal anatomy in the context of linear SPDE m...

The Foraging Brain: Evidence of Lévy Dynamics in Brain Networks

In this research we have analyzed functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signals of different networks in the brain under resting state condition. To such end, the dynamics of signal variation, have been conceived as a stochastic motion, namely it has been modelled through a generalized Langevin stochastic differential equation, which combines a deterministic drift component with a stocha...
