Stimulus-induced Synchronization in Hodgkin–huxley-type Model Neurons of Cat Retinal Ganglion Cells∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
Visual signals converge through the layers of the retinal circuitry from the photoreceptor cells to the retinal ganglion cells such that nearby ganglion cells are driven by essentially the same visual stimulus. We use computational modeling to address the question whether the experimentally observed degree of synchrony in nearby ganglion cells is due to the common visual stimulus or whether active network circuitry is necessary.

A new circuit model for the Parameters in equations of low power Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell
In this paper, α and β parameters and gating variables equations of Hodgkin-Huxley neuron cell have been studied. Gating variables show opening and closing rate of ion flow of calcium and potassium in neuron cell. Variable functions α and β, are exponential functions in terms of u potential that have been obtained by Hodgkin and Huxley experimentally to adjust the equations of neural cells. In ...
متن کاملStimulus-evoked synchronization in neuronal models
It is known that stimulus-evoked synchronization among neurons occurs in widely separated cortical regions. In this paper we test that how common, random but not deterministic inputs can synchronize groups of neurons with their parameters inside physiologically plausible regions. When a common, random input is presented, we .nd that a group of neurons—of integrate-and-.re or Hodgkin–Huxley mode...

In this paper we study the effect of noise on HH Model. Small-world, regular and random neural networks are the types of HH neuronal networks, which we study in spiking synchronization. External noise and Sub threshold stimulus are subjected to all the neurons. In neuronal membranes we study biophysically realistic HH neurons with intensity of intrinsic noise via voltage gated ion channels. The...
متن کاملNoise-induced synchronization and coherence resonance of a Hodgkin-Huxley model of thermally sensitive neurons.
We study nontrivial effects of noise on synchronization and coherence of a chaotic Hodgkin-Huxley model of thermally sensitive neurons. We demonstrate that identical neurons which are not coupled but subjected to a common fluctuating input (Gaussian noise) can achieve complete synchronization when the noise amplitude is larger than a threshold. For nonidentical neurons, noise can induce phase s...
