Some renewal process models for single neuron discharge

  • Howard G. Hochman (a1) and Stephen E. Fienberg (a1)
Abstract

Leslie (1969) obtained the Laplace transform for the recurrence time of clusters of Poisson processes, which can be thought of as yielding the interspike interval distribution for a neuron that receives Poisson excitatory inputs subject to decay. Here, several extensions of this model are derived, each including Poisson inhibitory inputs. Expressions for the mean and variance are derived for each model, and the results for the different models are compared.
