Dependence of firing pattern on intrinsic ionic conductances: Sensitive and insensitive combinations
We construct maps of the intrinsic "ring state (silent, tonically "ring, or bursting) of a model neuron as a function of its maximal ionic conductances. The "ring properties vary signi"cantly only in response to changes in particular, sensitive combinations of conductances that may serve as targets for neuromodulation. Less sensitive combinations de"ne directions along which neuronal conductanc...
متن کاملDynamic Input Conductances Shape Neuronal Spiking1,2
Assessing the role of biophysical parameter variations in neuronal activity is critical to the understanding of modulation, robustness, and homeostasis of neuronal signalling. The paper proposes that this question can be addressed through the analysis of dynamic input conductances. Those voltage-dependent curves aggregate the concomitant activity of all ion channels in distinct timescales. They...
متن کاملShape representation with firing intersections
We present a novel approach to the coding and representation of shapes using intersections. Our algorithm combines contour and region based approaches. After exploring hitherto unvisited regions of the shape, we find salient features on the boundary in that region. Our method has a number of attractive features. First, it is efficient to compute, since only small yet salient regions are retriev...
متن کاملImbalance of ionic conductances contributes to diverse symptoms of demyelination.
Fast axonal conduction of action potentials in mammals relies on myelin insulation. Demyelination can cause slowed, blocked, desynchronized, or paradoxically excessive spiking that underlies the symptoms observed in demyelination diseases. The diversity and timing of such symptoms are poorly understood, often intermittent, and uncorrelated with disease progress. We modeled the effects of demyel...
متن کاملIonic conductances of squid giant fiber lobe neurons
The cell bodies of the neurons in the giant fiber lobe (GFL) of the squid stellate ganglion give rise to axons that fuse and thereby form the third-order giant axon, whose initial portion functions as the postsynaptic element of the squid giant synapse. We have developed a preparation of dissociated, cultured cells from this lobe and have studied the voltage-dependent conductances using patch-c...
