Phase Coding: Spikes Get a Boost from Local Fields
The brain exhibits coherent, long-range oscillations, and it now appears that these oscillations play a substantial role in neural coding: they can boost the information contained in action potentials by as much as 50%.
متن کاملDNA vaccines get a boost
High blood pressure, sepsis, and snake bites might all be cured by the same antidote, according to Schneider et al. (page 2629). High blood pressure and septic shock are both enhanced by a 21–amino acid peptide called ET-1. This peptide is secreted by blood vessel cells that have been activated by inflammatory cytokines. ET-1 triggers the contraction of smooth muscle cells that are wrapped arou...
متن کاملPopulation coding with unreliable spikes
The need for a neuronal coding scheme that is robust against the corruption of action potentials seems to support the idea of population rate coding, where the relevance of a single spike decreases proportional to the increase of population size. In order to test this intuition, we here investigate the e*ciency and robustness of a population rate coding scheme in comparison to a place coding sc...
متن کاملA problem with Hebb and local spikes.
Although our understanding of the cellular properties of mammalian neurons is increasing rapidly, the computational function of their elaborate dendritic trees is still mysterious. In recent years, experiments have shown that, in pyramidal cells, individual dendritic compartments sustain local excitation spikes.. These dendrites also support Hebbian synaptic plasticity, which depends on the pre...
متن کاملSpike sorting of synchronous spikes from local neuron ensembles.
Synchronous spike discharge of cortical neurons is thought to be a fingerprint of neuronal cooperativity. Because neighboring neurons are more densely connected to one another than neurons that are located further apart, near-synchronous spike discharge can be expected to be prevalent and it might provide an important basis for cortical computations. Using microelectrodes to record local groups...
