Reduced Single Neuron Models
Fabrizio Gabbiani,Steven J. Cox +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter presents the most elementary model usually employed to simulate neurons, called the leaky integrate and fire model, and introduces a class of neurons that have the ability to fire short bursts of spikes and briefly discusses their role in information processing in the nervous system.
Book ChapterDOI
The Passive Isopotential Cell
Fabrizio Gabbiani,Steven J. Cox +1 more
TL;DR: This chapter introduces and motivates the basic electrical properties of neurons and ionic channels, including membrane conductance, capacitance, Nernst potential and synaptic conductance.
Book ChapterDOI
Neurovascular Coupling, the BOLD Signal and MRI
Fabrizio Gabbiani,Steven J. Cox +1 more
TL;DR: A quantitative estimate of the glucose and oxygen required to support neuronal signaling is constructed and an explicit expression for the BOLD signal arising from a random network of cylindrical vessels is arrived at.
Book ChapterDOI
Natural Light Signals and Phototransduction
Fabrizio Gabbiani,Steven J. Cox +1 more
TL;DR: The most salient properties of light in the natural world are described as these have an important impact on its processing by the visual system.
