The interplay of common noise and finite pulses on biological neurons
The response of neurons is highly sensitive to the stimulus. The stimulus can be associated with a direct injection in vitro experimentation (e.g., time dependent and independent inputs); or post-synaptic potentials resulting from the interaction of many neurons. A typical incoming stimulus resembles a noise which in principle can be described as a random variable. In computational neuroscience, the noise has been extensively studied for different setups. In this study, we investigate the effect of noisy inputs in a minimal network of two identical leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons interacting with finite pulses. In particular, we consider a Gaussian white noise as a standard function for stochastic modelling of neurons, while taking into account the pulse width as an elementary component for the signal transmission. By exploring the role of noise and finite pulses, the two neurons show a synchronous spiking behaviour characterized by fluctuations in the interspike intervals. Above some critical values the synchronous regime collapses onto asynchronous dynamics. The abrupt change in such dynamics is accompanied by a hysteresis, i.e., the coexistence of synchronous and asynchronous firing behaviour.
