چکیده

A good approximation to the integrate-and-fire model with diffusive noise can be obtained using a noisy threshold model. This allows the response of a population of noisy neurons to a current transient to be described using a linear filter. Here we apply these analytical results to the peristimulus time histogram (PSTH) of a single neuron. The effect of the noise on the PSTH in our model is similar to that seen in experimental findings of Poliakov et al. (1996) on hypoglossal and cat lumbar motoneurons and could help in interpreting their results.

Effect of Myricetin on the Prevention of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss-An Animal Model

Introduction: Exposure to hazardous noise induces one of the forms of acquired and preventable hearing loss that is noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). Considering oxidative stress as the main mechanism of NIHL, it is possible that myricetin can protect NIHL by its antioxidant effect. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the preventive effect of myricetin on NIHL.  <br /...

Modulation Response and Relative Intensity Noise Spectra in Quantum Cascade Lasers

Static properties, relatively intensity noise and intensity modulation response in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) studied theoretically in this paper. The present rate equations model consists of three equations for the electrons density in the conduction band and one equation for photons density in cavity length. Two equations were derived to calculate the noise and modulation response. Calcula...

Role of STDP in regulation of neural timing networks in human: a simulation study

Many physiological events require an accurate timing signal, usually generated by neural networks called central pattern generators (CPGs). On the other hand, properties of neurons and neural networks (e.g. time constants of neurons and weights of network connections) alter with time, resulting in gradual changes in timing of such networks. Recently, a synaptic weight adjustment mechanism has b...
