Detecting and Estimating Signals in Noisy Cable Structures, II: Information Theoretical Analysis
This is the second in a series of articles that seek to recast classical single-neuron biophysics in information-theoretical terms. Classical cable theory focuses on analyzing the voltage or current attenuation of a synaptic signal as it propagates from its dendritic input location to the spike initiation zone. On the other hand, we are interested in analyzing the amount of information lost abo...

متن کاملDetecting and Estimating Signals in Noisy Cable Structures, I: Neuronal Noise Sources
In recent theoretical approaches addressing the problem of neural coding, tools from statistical estimation and information theory have been applied to quantify the ability of neurons to transmit information through their spike outputs. These techniques, though fairly general, ignore the specific nature of neuronal processing in terms of its known biophysical properties. However, a systematic s...
متن کاملDetecting and Estimating Signals over Noisy and Unreliable Synapses: Information-Theoretic Analysis
The temporal precision with which neurons respond to synaptic inputs has a direct bearing on the nature of the neural code. A characterization of the neuronal noise sources associated with different sub-cellular components (synapse, dendrite, soma, axon, and so on) is needed to understand the relationship between noise and information transfer. Here we study the effect of the unreliable, probab...
متن کاملNumerical Analysis of Cable Structures
Cable this structural element known since prehistoric times perhaps – was for many years used exclusively for mechanical engineering purposes. It has penetrated the civil engineering at the end of the 19th century thanks to the progress of the bridge engineering. [1]. Its excellent flexibility (and its related zero bending moments) and strength enable it to span very long distances with minimal...
