Synchronization of the Neural Response to Noisy Periodic synaptic Input

摘要

The timing information contained in the response of a neuron to noisy periodic synaptic input is analyzed for the leaky integrate-and-fire neural model. We address the question of the relationship between the timing of the synaptic inputs and the output spikes. This requires an analysis of the interspike interval distribution of the output spikes, which is obtained in the Gaussian approximation. The conditional output spike density in response to noisy periodic input is evaluated as a function o the initial phase of the inputs.
