Inverse stochastic resonance (ISR) is a phenomenon where noise reduces rather than increases the firing rate of a neuron, sometimes leading to complete quiescence. ISR was first experimentally verified with cerebellar Purkinje neurons.…
Inverse stochastic resonance comprises a nonlinear response of an oscillatory system to noise where the frequency of noise-perturbed oscillations becomes minimal at an intermediate noise level. We demonstrate two generic scenarios for…
