LCN Seminar: The dynamical response properties of cortical neurons
The role of irregular cortical firing in neuronal computation is still debated, and it is unclear how signals carried by fluctuating synaptic potentials are decoded by downstream neurons and how they influence single-cell electrical activity. In this talk I will present some experimental results obtained in vitro by means of conductance-clamp, extending previous characterisation of input-output linear dynamical response properties in rat cortical neurons. Such an experimental characterisation addresses how neurons respond to time-varying noisy stimuli and is relevant to interpret ensemble responses to fast input transients.
