A spike train analysis for correlating burst firings in neurons

摘要

We introduced a multiple single-unit spike train analysis technique to deduce the burst firing patterns in one neuron that are temporally correlated to the spike generation in another neuron. This analysis considers the contribution of temporal summation of burst firings in one neuron that is correlated to the probability of spike firing in another neuron. The result shows that the analysis can extract the number of spikes and the duration of burst pattern.
