A Mean-Field Method for Generic Conductance-Based Integrate-and-Fire Neurons with Finite Timescales
The construction of transfer functions in theoretical neuroscience plays an important role in determining the spiking rate behavior of neurons in networks. These functions can be obtained through various fitting methods, but the biological relevance of the parameters is not always clear. However, for stationary inputs, such functions can be obtained without the adjustment of free parameters by using mean-field methods. In this work, we expand current Fokker-Planck approaches to account for the concurrent influence of colored and multiplicative noise terms on generic conductance-based integrate-and-fire neurons. We reduce the resulting stochastic system from the application of the diffusion approximation to a one-dimensional Langevin equation. An effective Fokker-Planck is then constructed using Fox Theory, which is solved numerically to obtain the transfer function. The solution is capable of reproducing the transfer function behavior of simulated neurons across a wide range of parameters. The method can also be easily extended to account for different sources of noise with various multiplicative terms, and it can be used in other types of problems in principle.

Firing rate of the leaky integrate-and-fire neuron with stochastic conductance-based synaptic inputs with short decay times
We compute the firing rate of a leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neuron with stochastic conductance-based inputs in the limit when synaptic decay times are much shorter than the membrane time constant. A comparison of our …
