Latency of inhibitory response

Estimation of inhibitory response latency: the problem of detecting non-spikes

Response latency denotes the time delay between the stimulus onset and the beginning of the evoked response. It is believed to contain important information for the understanding of the temporal code. In the last twenty years, many methods dealing with latency estimation from experimental data were proposed (e.g. [1], [3]). As in practice the studied responses are mostly excitatory, these metho...

Radiation-induced lowered neurogenesis associated with shortened latency of inhibitory avoidance memory response.

The neural system is less sensitive to radiation than other late-responding organs and tissues such as the kidney and lung. The generation of new neurons in the adult mammalian brain has been documented in several works. Many studies show that adult hippocampal neurogenesis relates to hippocampal function, in several ways. In this study, we assessed the effect of single and fractionated cobalt ...

Estimating stimulus response latency.

Stimulus response latency is the delay in the onset of stimulus-evoked neuronal activity. We develop maximum likelihood and least squares estimators of stimulus response latency and present a comparison of the performance of these methods with estimators commonly used in the neuroscience literature. The formal statistical change-point estimation problem is nontrivial due to the inclusion of a '...

Response Latency As

Identification of noisy response latency.

In many physical systems there is a time delay before an applied input (stimulation) has an impact on the output (response), and the quantification of this delay is of paramount interest. If the response can only be observed on top of an indistinguishable background signal, the estimation can be highly unreliable, unless the background signal is accounted for in the analysis. In fact, if the ba...
