Gibbs distributions may naturally arise from synaptic adaptation mechanisms . A model - based argumentation
This paper addresses two questions in the context of neuronal networks dynamics, using methods from dynamical systems theory and statistical physics: (i) How to characterize the statistical properties of sequences of action potentials (" spike trains ") produced by neuronal networks ? and; (ii) what are the effects of synaptic plasticity on these statistics ? We introduce a framework in which s...
متن کاملModeling Synaptic Plasticity in Conjunction with the Timing of Pre- and Postsynaptic Action Potentials
We present a spiking neuron model that allows for an analytic calculation of the correlations between pre- and postsynaptic spikes. The neuron model is a generalization of the integrate-and-fire model and equipped with a probabilistic spike-triggering mechanism. We show that under certain biologically plausible conditions, pre- and postsynaptic spike trains can be described simultaneously as an...
متن کاملDifferential short-term synaptic plasticity and transmission of complex spike trains: to depress or to facilitate?
Experimental studies have revealed conspicuous short-term facilitation and depression that are expressed differentially at distinct classes of cortical synapses. To explore computational implications of synaptic dynamics, we investigated transmission of complex spike trains through a stochastic model of cortical synapse endowed with short-term facilitation and vesicle depletion. Inputs to the s...
متن کاملShort-Term Synaptic Plasticity Can Enhance Weak Signal Detectability in Nonrenewal Spike Trains
We study the encoding of weak signals in spike trains with interspike interval (ISI) correlations and the signals' subsequent detection in sensory neurons. Motivated by the observation of negative ISI correlations in auditory and electrosensory afferents, we assess the theoretical performance limits of an individual detector neuron receiving a weak signal distributed across multiple afferent in...
متن کاملSpike-timing-dependent synaptic plasticity: from single spikes to spike trains
We present a neurobiologically motivated model of a neuron with active dendrites and dynamic synapses, and a training algorithm which builds upon single spike-timing-dependent synaptic plasticity derived from neurophysiological evidence. We show that in the presence of a moderate level of noise, the plasticity rule can be extended from single to multiple presynaptic spikes and applied to effect...
