On the Rate Coding Response of Peripheral Sensory Neurons
The rate coding response of a single peripheral sensory neuron in the asymptotic, near-equilibrium limit can be derived using information theory, asymptotic Bayesian statistics and a theory of complex systems. Almost no biological knowledge is required. The theoretical expression shows good agreement with spike-frequency adaptation data across different sensory modalities and animal species. The approach permits the discovery of a new neurophysiological equation and shares similarities with statistical physics.

A Fundamental Inequality Governing the Rate Coding Response of Sensory Neurons
A 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 geomet…
Optimal context separation of spiking haptic signals by second-order somatosensory neurons
We study an encoding/decoding mechanism accounting for the relative spike timing of the signals propagating from peripheral nerve fibers to second-order somatosensory neurons in the cuneate nucleus (CN). The CN is modele…
Hypoxia-inducible factor 1a protects peripheral sensory neurons from diabetic peripheral neuropathy by suppressing accumulation of reactive oxygen species
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the most common diabetic complications. Mechanisms underlying nerve damage and sensory loss following metabolic dysfunction remain large unclear. Recently, hyperglycemia-ind…
Learn to integrate parts for whole through correlated neural variability
Sensory perception originates from the responses of sensory neurons, which react to a collection of sensory signals linked to various physical attributes of a singular perceptual object. Unraveling how the brain extracts…
Texture Recognition Using a Biologically Plausible Spiking Phase-Locked Loop Model for Spike Train Frequency Decomposition
In this paper, we present a novel spiking neural network model designed to perform frequency decomposition of spike trains. Our model emulates neural microcircuits theorized in the somatosensory cortex, rendering it a bi…
