Method to Detect Impulses of Various Duration Generated by Purkinje Cells of Cerebellar Cortex
نویسندگان
چکیده
An algorithm for the detection of electric potentials characteristic of the simple spikes (SSs) and complex spikes (CSs) generated by the Purkinje cells of the cerebellar cortex is considered. The algorithm is based on the determination of the leading edge of the detected signal, construction of its feature description with allowance made for the dynamics of the potential amplitude in the successive bins, and comparison of vectors describing the reference impulse portrait and the current signal. The algorithm is tested using artificial series of impulses and measurements of neuron activity. The results prove accuracy in the detection of the impulse leading edge and point to the possibility of selective identification of SSs and CSs having similar features. Received October 25, 2004

Purkinje Cells
Purkinje cells [5], also called Purkinje neurons, are neurons in vertebrate animals located in the cerebellar cortex of the brain. Purkinje cell bodies are shaped like a flask and have many threadlike extensions called dendrites, which receive impulses from other neurons called granule cells [6]. Each cell also has a single projection called an axon, which transmits impulses to the part of the ...

متن کاملAn inward current induced by a putative cyclic nucleotide-gated channel in rat cerebellar Purkinje neurons
The roles of cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channels in sensory transduction have long been recognized. More recent studies found that CNG channels are distributed in multiple brain regions involved in memory and learning, including the cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum. These findings suggest that their functions are not limited to sensory perception, but also to neuronal plasticity phenomena,...
