Spike timing regularity in vestibular afferent neurons: How ionic currents influence sensory encoding mechanisms
Primary vestibular neurons are categorized as either regularly or irregularly firing afferents that use rate and temporal sensory encoding strategies, respectively. While many factors influence firing in these neurons, recent work in mammalian vestibular afferents has demonstrated a rich diversity in ion channels that drive spiking regularity. Here, I review key ionic currents studied in vitro and demonstrate how they may enable sensory encoding strategies demonstrated in vivo.

Spike-timing-dependent plasticity and random inputs shape interspike interval regularity of model STN neurons
Neuronal oscillations are closely related to the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). In this study, we explore how random fluctuations (or "stochastic inputs") affect these oscillations in brain states, which reflect t…
Mechanoreceptive A$β$ primary afferents discriminate naturalistic social touch inputs at a functionally relevant time scale
Interpersonal touch is an important channel of social emotional interaction. How these physical skin-to-skin touch expressions are processed in the peripheral nervous system is not well understood. From microneurography …
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…
Turn Down that Noise: Synaptic Encoding of Afferent SNR in a Single Spiking Neuron
We have added a simplified neuromorphic model of Spike Time Dependent Plasticity (STDP) to the Synapto-dendritic Kernel Adapting Neuron (SKAN). The resulting neuron model is the first to show synaptic encoding of afferen…
Spatiotemporal Pattern Recognition in Single Mixed-Signal VLSI Neurons with Heterogeneous Dynamic Synapses
Mixed-signal neuromorphic processors with brain-like organization and device physics offer an ultra-low-power alternative to the unsustainable developments of conventional deep learning and computing. However, realizing …
