Tailoring inputs to achieve maximal neuronal firing
We consider the constrained optimization of excitatory synaptic input patterns to maximize spike generation in leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) and theta model neurons. In the case of discrete input kicks with a fixed total magnitude, optimal input timings and strengths are identified for each model using phase plane arguments. In both cases, optimal features relate to finding an input level at w...
متن کاملThe relationship between neuronal calcium concentration and firing rate during stochastic synaptic inputs.
We propose a novel, nonlinear theory about reading neuronal information using intracellular calcium concentrations, which includes the linear theory already developed in the literature as a special case. The theory is numerically confirmed using the Pinsky-Rinzel and integrate-and-fire models with constant rate Poisson inputs. Applying the theory to models with non-constant inputs, we find that...
متن کاملOn how correlations between excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs maximize the information rate of neuronal firing
Cortical neurons receive barrages of excitatory and inhibitory inputs which are not independent, as network structure and synaptic kinetics impose statistical correlations. Experiments in vitro and in vivo have demonstrated correlations between inhibitory and excitatory synaptic inputs in which inhibition lags behind excitation in cortical neurons. This delay arises in feed-forward inhibition (...
متن کاملInhibitory inputs increase a neurons's firing rate
Neurons are typically thought of as receiving information primarily through excitatory inputs, with inhibitory inputs playing a gating or regulating role. In this paper we demonstrate that increasing the strength of inhibitory inputs to the Hodgkin}Huxley and FitzHugh} Nagumo models can induce them to "re faster. This result is counter-intuitive and important in neural network modelling where i...
متن کاملScheduling of an Input-queued Switch to Achieve Maximal Throughput
Achieving high throughput in input-queued switches has been found to be difficult, especially when traffic is nonuniform in the sense that different inputs have very different cell generation rates+ We show that for general arrival processes, 100% throughput can be achieved with a simple algorithm that is very easy to implement+ We consider a switch in which in each time slot, at most one cell ...
