Correlation and Synchrony Transfer in Integrate-and-Fire Neurons: Basic Properties and Consequences for Coding
Correlation and Synchrony Transfer in Integrate-and-Fire Neurons: Basic Properties and Consequences for Coding
We study how pairs of neurons transfer correlated input currents into correlated spikes. Over rapid time scales, correlation transfer increases with both spike time variability and rate; the dependence on variability disappears at large time scales. This persists for a nonlinear membrane model and for heterogeneous cell pairs, but strong …
