Serotonergic, noradrenergic and dopaminergic brainstem (including midbrain) neurons, often exhibit spontaneous and fairly regular spiking with frequencies of order a few Hz, though dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons only exhibit such…

We consider here a single-compartment model of these neurons which is capable of describing many of the known features of spike generation, particularly the slow rhythmic pacemaking activity often observed in these cells in a variety of…

Brain operates at remarkably low signal power. It has been noted that noise may play a constructive role in neural networks and facilitate the subthreshold signaling. The process of spiking pattern excitation at the characteristic neuronal…

The spiking activity of single neurons can be well described by a nonlinear integrate-and-fire model that includes somatic adaptation. When exposed to fluctuating inputs sparsely coupled populations of these model neurons exhibit stochastic…

We propose a biologically inspired model of spiking neurons based on the dynamics of a damped, driven pendulum. Unlike traditional models such as the Leaky Integrate-and-Fire (LIF) neurons, the pendulum neuron incorporates second-order,…

We investigate different dynamical regimes of neuronal network in the CA3 area of the hippocampus. The proposed neuronal circuit includes two fast- and two slowly-spiking cells which are interconnected by means of dynamical synapses. On the…

We study a network model of two conductance-based pacemaker neurons of differing natural frequency, coupled with either mutual excitation or inhibition, and receiving shared random inhibitory synaptic input. The networks may phase-lock…

At functional scales, cortical behavior results from the complex interplay of a large number of excitable cells operating in noisy environments. Such systems resist to mathematical analysis, and computational neurosciences have largely…

Serotonergic neurons of the dorsal raphe nuclei, with their extensive innervation of nearly the whole brain have important modulatory effects on many cognitive and physiological processes. They play important roles in clinical depression…

We present a first-order non-homogeneous Markov model for the interspike-interval density of a continuously stimulated spiking neuron. The model allows the conditional interspike-interval density and the stationary interspike-interval…

Spiking Neural Networks have earned increased recognition in recent years owing to their biological plausibility and event-driven computation. Spiking neurons are the fundamental building components of Spiking Neural Networks. Those neurons…

We study the phenomenological model of ensemble of two FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron-like elements with symmetric excitatory couplings. The main advantage of proposed model is the new approach to model of coupling which is implemented by smooth…

A simple model that replicates the dynamics of spiking and spiking-bursting activity of real biological neurons is proposed. The model is a two-dimensional map which contains one fast and one slow variable. The mechanisms behind generation…

A fundamental problem in neuroscience is to characterize the dynamics of spiking from the neurons in a circuit that is involved in learning about a stimulus or a contingency. A key limitation of current methods to analyze neural spiking…

Neurons are the central biological objects in understanding how the brain works. The famous Hodgkin-Huxley model, which describes how action potentials of a neuron are initiated and propagated, consists of four coupled nonlinear…

A spiking neuron ``computes'' by transforming a complex dynamical input into a train of action potentials, or spikes. The computation performed by the neuron can be formulated as dimensional reduction, or feature detection, followed by a…

There has been a strong push recently to examine biological scale simulations of neuromorphic algorithms to achieve stronger inference capabilities. This paper presents a set of piecewise linear spiking neuron models, which can reproduce…

Spikes are the currency in central nervous systems for information transmission and processing. They are also believed to play an essential role in low-power consumption of the biological systems, whose efficiency attracts increasing…

Recurrent neural networks are powerful tools for understanding and modeling computation and representation by populations of neurons. Continuous-variable or "rate" model networks have been analyzed and applied extensively for these…

We propose an equivalent circuit model for photonic spike processing laser neurons with an embedded saturable absorber---a simulation model for photonic excitable lasers (SIMPEL). We show that by mapping the laser neuron rate equations into…
