We investigate leaky integrate-and-fire models (LIF models for short) driven by Stepanov and $\mu$-almost periodic functions. Special attention is paid to the properties of a firing map and its displacement, which give information about the…
In mathematical biology and the theory of electric networks the firing map of an integrate-and-fire system is a notion of importance. In order to prove useful properties of this map authors of previous papers assumed that the stimulus…
In this work we consider a periodically forced generic integrate-and-fire model with a unique attracting equilibrium in the subthreshold dynamics and study the dependence of the firing-rate on the frequency of the drive. In an earlier study…
Interspike intervals describe the output of neurons. Signal transmission in a neuronal network implies that the output of some neurons becomes the input of others. The output should reproduce the main features of the input to avoid a…
Variability in neural responses is an ubiquitous phenomenon in neurons, usually modeled with stochastic differential equations. In particular, stochastic integrate-and-fire models are widely used to simplify theoretical studies. The…
We present a mathematical analysis of a networks with Integrate-and-Fire neurons and adaptive conductances. Taking into account the realistic fact that the spike time is only known within some \textit{finite} precision, we propose a model…
In this work we consider a general non-autonomous hybrid system based on the integrate-and-fire model, widely used as simplified version of neuronal models and other types of excitable systems. Our unique assumption is that the system is…
We study the global dynamics of integrate and fire neural networks composed of an arbitrary number of identical neurons interacting by inhibition and excitation. We prove that if the interactions are strong enough, then the support of the…
If interspike intervals are dependent the instantaneous firing rate does not catch important features of spike trains. In this case the conditional instantaneous rate plays the role of the instantaneous firing rate for the case of samples…
The behaviour of neurons under the influence of periodic external input has been modelled very successfully by circle maps. The aim of this note is to extend certain aspects of this analysis to a much more general class of forcing…
Spike correlations between neurons are ubiquitous in the cortex, but their role is at present not understood. Here we describe the firing response of a leaky integrate-and-fire neuron (LIF) when it receives a temporarily correlated input…
At the single-neuron level, precisely timed spikes can either constitute firing-rate codes or spike-pattern codes that utilize the relative timing between consecutive spikes. There has been little experimental support for the hypothesis…
The chaotic phenomenon of intermittency is modeled by a simple map of the unit interval, the Farey map. The long term dynamical behaviour of a point under iteration of the map is translated into a spin system via symbolic dynamics. Methods…
Integrate-and-fire is a resource efficient time-encoding mechanism that summarizes into a signed spike train those time intervals where a signal's charge exceeds a certain threshold. We analyze the IF encoder in terms of a very general…
Probability density function of output interspike intervals is found in exact form for leaky integrate and fire neuron stimulated with Poisson stream. The diffusion approximation is not exploited.
This work reports a transfer function-based approach to characterizing the operation of single neuronal cells in terms of the instantaneous frequency of the input and output signals. We adopt the leaky integrate-and-fire model. The transfer…
We study the joint dynamics of membrane potential and time since the last spike in a population of integrate-and-fire neurons using a population density framework. This leads to a two-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation that captures the…
We study spatiotemporal intermittency in a system of coupled sine circle maps. The phase diagram of the system shows parameter regimes where the STI lies in the directed percolation class, as well as regimes which show pure spatial…
In this work we explore recurrent representations of leaky integrate and fire neurons operating at a timescale equal to their absolute refractory period. Our coarse time scale approximation is obtained using a probability distribution…
We consider a wide class of spiking neuron models, defined by rather general set of conditions typical for basic models like leaky integrate and fire, or binding neuron model. A neuron is fed with a point renewal process. A relation between…
