Title
Correlations modulate the non-monotonic response of a neuron with short-term plasticity
Abstract
The impact of synchronous inputs onto a simple neuron model with synapses showing short-term plasticity is studied. The synaptic model includes depression, stochastic release and facilitation. The mean and second-order statistics of the current are computed. The combination of synchrony and STP produces a non-monotonic behavior of the current variance σ, while the mean μ saturates monotonically. Provided that μ saturates under threshold, the output rate inherits the resonant behavior of σ, making the neuron respond maximally to a specific rate. Information about the input rate can be transmitted beyond the saturation of μ by means of σ.
