Single effective neuron: dendritic coupling effects and stochastic resonance

Biological Cybernetics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We consider a model of a neuron coupled with a surrounding dendritic network subject to Langevin noise and a weak periodic modulation. Through an adiabatic elimination procedure, the single-neuron dynamics are extracted from the coupled stochastic differential equations describing the network of dendrodendritic interactions.Our approach yields a“reduced neuron” model whose dynamics may correspond to neurophysiologically realistic behavior for certain ranges of soma and bath parameters. Cooperative effects (e.g., stochastic resonance) arising from the interplay between the noise and modulation are discussed in detail.
