Coherence resonance and stochastic synchronization in a small-world neural network: An interplay in the presence of spike-timing-dependent plasticity
Coherence resonance (CR), stochastic synchronization (SS), and spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) are ubiquitous dynamical processes in biological neural networks. Whether there exists an optimal network and STDP configuration at which CR and SS are both pronounced is a fundamental question of interest that is still elusive. We expect such a configuration to enable the brain to make synergistic and optimal use of these phenomena to process information efficiently. This paper considers a small-world network of excitable Hodgkin-Huxley neurons driven by channel noise and STDP with an asymmetric Hebbian time window. Numerical results indicate specific network topology and STDP parameter intervals in which CR and SS can be simultaneously enhanced. Our results imply that an optimally tuned inherent background noise, STDP rule, and network topology can play a constructive role in enhancing both the time precision of firing and the synchronization in neural systems.
