Abstract
A recurrent model of the repetitive firing of neurons responding to stimuli of long duration is given. The model assumes a deterministic threshold potential and a membrane potential which is composed of both deterministic and random components. The model accurately reproduces interval statistics obtained from different neurons discharging repetitively over a wide range of discharge rates. It is shown that the model has three important parameters; the time course of threshold recovery following a discharge, the variance of the random component, and the level of excitatory drive. The model is extended, by the use of hyperpolarizing afterpotentials, to include negative correlation between successive interspike intervals.Year: 1966 PMID: 19431343 PMCID: PMC1367924 DOI: 10.1016/S0006-3495(66)86639-0
