  • Title: Stochastic resonance in a Hodgkin-Huxley neuron in the absence of external noise.
    Author: Chik DT, Wang Y, Wang ZD.
    Journal: Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys; 2001 Aug; 64(2 Pt 1):021913. PubMed ID: 11497626.
    Abstract:
    We study numerically nonlinear responses of a periodically forced Hodgkin-Huxley neuron. The coherence of the system in the absence of external noise, namely, the "intrinsic stochastic resonance," is evidenced by the multimodal aperiodic firing pattern, a bell-shaped curve in the signal-to-noise ratio, and the statistical features of the mean firing rate. The subthreshold intrinsic oscillations enhance the signal transduction in a manner different from that in models studied previously.
