A Fundamental Inequality Governing the Rate Coding Response of Sensory Neurons

Biol Cybern. 2023 Aug 19. doi: 10.1007/s00422-023-00971-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA fundamental inequality governing the spike activity of peripheral neurons is derived and tested against auditory data. This inequality states that the steady-state firing rate must lie between the arithmetic and geometric means of the spontaneous and peak activities during adaptation. Implications towards the development of auditory mechanistic models are explored.PMID:37597017 | DOI:10.1007/s00422-023-00971-y
