Weak signal propagation through noisy feedforward neuronal networks.

چکیده
We determine under which conditions the propagation of weak periodic signals through a feedforward Hodgkin-Huxley neuronal network is optimal. We find that successive neuronal layers are able to amplify weak signals introduced to the neurons forming the first layer only above a certain intensity of intrinsic noise. Furthermore, we show that as low as 4% of all possible interlayer links are sufficient for an optimal propagation of weak signals to great depths of the feedforward neuronal network, provided the signal frequency and the intensity of intrinsic noise are appropriately adjusted.

Stochastic resonance in feedforward acupuncture networks
Effects of noises and some other network properties on the weak signal propagation are studied systematically in feedforward acupuncture networks (FFN) based on FitzHugh– Nagumo neuron model. It is found that noises with medium intensity can enhance signal propagation and this effect can be further increased by the feedforward network structure. Resonant properties in the noisy network can also...
متن کاملSignal propagation and logic gating in networks of integrate-and-fire neurons.
Transmission of signals within the brain is essential for cognitive function, but it is not clear how neural circuits support reliable and accurate signal propagation over a sufficiently large dynamic range. Two modes of propagation have been studied: synfire chains, in which synchronous activity travels through feedforward layers of a neuronal network, and the propagation of fluctuations in fi...
متن کاملPropagation of spiking regularity and double coherence resonance in feedforward networks.
We investigate the propagation of spiking regularity in noisy feedforward networks (FFNs) based on FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron model systematically. It is found that noise could modulate the transmission of firing rate and spiking regularity. Noise-induced synchronization and synfire-enhanced coherence resonance are also observed when signals propagate in noisy multilayer networks. It is interesting...
متن کاملFast propagation of firing rates through layered networks of noisy neurons.
We model the propagation of neural activity through a feedforward network consisting of layers of integrate-and-fire neurons. In the presence of a noisy background current and spontaneous background firing, firing rate modulations are transmitted linearly through many layers, with a delay proportional to the synaptic time constant and with little distortion. Single neuron properties and firing ...
متن کاملShort-term memory in neuronal networks through dynamical compressed sensing
Recent proposals suggest that large, generic neuronal networks could store memory traces of past input sequences in their instantaneous state. Such a proposal raises important theoretical questions about the duration of these memory traces and their dependence on network size, connectivity and signal statistics. Prior work, in the case of gaussian input sequences and linear neuronal networks, s...
