Gamma Oscillations of Spiking Neural Populations Enhance Signal Discrimination
Selective attention is an important filter for complex environments where distractions compete with signals. Attention increases both the gamma-band power of cortical local field potentials and the spike-field coherence within the receptive field of an attended object. However, the mechanisms by which gamma-band activity enhances, if at all, the encoding of input signals are not well understood...
متن کاملEmpirical models of spiking in neural populations
Neurons in the neocortex code and compute as part of a locally interconnected population. Large-scale multi-electrode recording makes it possible to access these population processes empirically by fitting statistical models to unaveraged data. What statistical structure best describes the concurrent spiking of cells within a local network? We argue that in the cortex, where firing exhibits ext...
متن کاملNeuronal Oscillations Enhance Stimulus Discrimination by Ensuring Action Potential Precision
Although oscillations in membrane potential are a prominent feature of sensory, motor, and cognitive function, their precise role in signal processing remains elusive. Here we show, using a combination of in vivo, in vitro, and theoretical approaches, that both synaptically and intrinsically generated membrane potential oscillations dramatically improve action potential (AP) precision by removi...
متن کاملRapid signal transmission by populations of spiking neuronsWulfram
The dynamics of a homogeneous population of spiking neurons are analyzed. It is shown that signal transmission can be rapid. The cut-oo frequency of signal transmission depends on the noise level and on synaptic time constants rather than on the membrane time constant. In the low noise limit, tran-sients of the population activity can be immediate .
متن کاملUp-Down-Like Background Spiking Can Enhance Neural Information Transmission
How neurons transmit information about sensory or internal signals is strongly influenced by ongoing internal activity. Depending on brain state, this background spiking can occur asynchronously or clustered in up states, periods of collective firing that are interspersed by silent down states. Here, we study which effect such up-down (UD) transitions have on signal transmission. In a simple mo...
