Linearization of F-I Curves by Adaptation
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that negative feedback to highly nonlinear frequency-current (F-I) curves results in an effective linearization. (By highly nonlinear we mean that the slope at threshold is infinite or very steep.) We then apply this to a specific model for spiking neurons and show that the details of the adaptation mechanism do not affect the results. The crucial points are that the adaptation is slow compared to other processes and the unadapted F-I curve is highly nonlinear.

How Adaptation Makes Low Firing Rates Robust
Low frequency firing is modeled by Type 1 neurons with a SNIC, but, because of the vertical slope of the square-root-like f-I curve, low f only occurs over a narrow range of I. When an adaptive current is added, however, the f-I curve is linearized, and low f occurs robustly over a large I range. Ermentrout (Neural Comput. 10(7):1721-1729, 1998) showed that this feature of adaptation paradoxica...
متن کاملCritical Illumination and Critical Frequency for Response to Flickered Light, in Dragonfly Larvae
Curves relating flicker frequency (F) to mean critical illumination (I(m)) for threshold response to flickered light, with equal durations of light and no light intervals, and relating illumination (I) to mean critical flicker frequency (F(m)) for the same response, have been obtained from homogeneous data based upon the reactions of dragonfly larvae (Anax junius). These curves exhibit the prop...
متن کاملFiring Rate Adaptation without Losing Sensitivity to Input Fluctuations
Spike frequency adaptation is an important cellular mechanism by which neocortical neurons accommodate their responses to transient, as well as sustained, stimulations. This can be quantified by the slope reduction in the f-I curves due to adaptation. When the neuron is driven by a noisy, in vivo-like current, adaptation might also affect the sensitivity to the fluctuations of the input. We inv...
متن کاملLinear versus nonlinear signal transmission in neuron models with adaptation currents or dynamic thresholds.
Spike-frequency adaptation is a prominent aspect of neuronal dynamics that shapes a neuron's signal processing properties on timescales ranging from about 10 ms to >1 s. For integrate-and-fire model neurons spike-frequency adaptation is incorporated either as an adaptation current or as a dynamic firing threshold. Whether a physiologically observed adaptation mechanism should be modeled as an a...
متن کاملLinearization Curve Generation for CcMmYK Printing
The linearization curve generation is an important step in printer color characterization. The typical purpose of the linearization curves in conventional four ink printing is to compensate for dot overlapping and dot size variations and therefore to accommodate the non-linearity of the printing process. In CcMmYK “photo” printing, the introduction of light cyan and magenta inks presents new ch...
