We demonstrate that the information contained in the spike occurrence times of a population of neurons can be broken up into a series of terms, each of which reflect something about potential coding mechanisms. This is possible in the…
We consider the effects of memory on the stationary behavior of a two-dimensional Langevin dynamics in a confining potential. The system is treated in an overdamped approximation and the degrees of freedom are under the influence of…
In this manuscript, a silent resonator neuron is coupled with a spiking integrator neuron through the gap junction, when the coupled neurons are of different types of excitability and none of the coupled neurons exhibit mixed mode…
Neural networks encode information through their collective spiking activity in response to external stimuli. This population response is noisy and strongly correlated, with complex interplay between correlations induced by the stimulus,…
We find that sensory noise delivered together with a weak periodic signal not only enhances nonlinear response of neuronal networks, but also improves the synchronization of the response to the signal. We reveal this phenomenon in neuronal…
Over the brief time intervals available for processing retinal output, roughly 50 to 300 msec, the number of extra spikes generated by individual ganglion cells can be quite variable. Here, computer-generated spike trains were used to…
The response of a noisy integrate-and-fire neuron with reset to periodic input is investigated. We numerically obtain the first-passage-time density of the pertaining Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and show how the power spectral density of the…
At the level of individual neurons, various coding properties can be inferred from the input-output relationship of a cell. For small inputs, this relation is captured by the phase-response curve (PRC), which measures the effect of a small…

The identification of sensory cues associated with potential opportunities and dangers is frequently complicated by unrelated events that separate useful cues by long delays. As a result, it remains a challenging task for state-of-the-art…
We theoretically investigate the phenomena of generalization and memorization in diffusion models. Empirical studies suggest that these phenomena are influenced by model complexity and the size of the training dataset. In our experiments,…

Cortical sensory neurons are known to be highly variable, in the sense that responses evoked by identical stimuli often change dramatically from trial to trial. The origin of this variability is uncertain, but it is usually interpreted as…
