Neural processing rests on the intracellular transformation of information as synaptic inputs
are translated into action potentials. This transformation is governed by the spike threshold …

The way in which single neurons transform input into output spike trains has fundamental
consequences for network coding. Theories and modeling studies based on standard …

In the auditory system, sounds are processed in parallel frequency-tuned circuits, beginning
in the cochlea. Auditory nerve fibers reflect this tonotopy and encode temporal properties of …

Key points Quantitative metrics for the temporal window of integration/coincidence detection,
based on the spike‐triggered average, were employed to assess the emergence and …

The physiological diversity of inhibitory neurons provides ample opportunity to influence a
wide range of computational roles through their varied activity patterns, especially via …

While motion is important for parsing a complex auditory scene into perceptual objects, how
it is encoded in the auditory system is unclear. Perceptual studies suggest that the ability to …

Dynamic spike threshold plays a critical role in neuronal input-output relations. In many
neurons, the threshold potential depends on the rate of membrane potential depolarization …

Single neurons function along a spectrum of neuronal operating modes whose properties
determine how the output firing activity is generated from synaptic input. The auditory brain …

Sensory systems exploit parallel processing of stimulus features to enable rapid,
simultaneous extraction of information. Mechanisms that facilitate this differential extraction …

Electrical synapses represent a widespread modality of interneuronal communication in the
mammalian brain. These contacts, by lowering the effectiveness of random or temporally …
