TLDR
An electronic neural analog is described which contains variable absolute and relative refractory periods, two time constants, and separate control of the ``accommodation'' to sub-threshold voltage changes and the ``adaptation'' produced by the occurrence of output pulses (spikes).Abstract:
An electronic neural analog is described which contains variable absolute and relative refractory periods, two time constants, and separate control of the ``accommodation'' to sub-threshold voltage changes and the ``adaptation'' produced by the occurrence of output pulses (spikes). The extensive use of integrated-circuit operational amplifiers permits an accurate description of input-output relationships over a wide range of values for all parameters. This facilitates comparison of the results obtained both with neural data and mathematical or digitally simulated models of neural activity. The effect of white noise on interval histograms and their parameters is described and its effect when added to other inputs. Noise disrupts the phase-locked patterns produced by sinusoidal stimuli and the averaged response may become a smooth sinusoidal function in the presence of added noise. Adaptation may produce a phase lead to sinusoidal stimuli, while accommodation may produce a phase lag. Corresponding overshoots or undershoots are seen with square-wave inputs.read more

Neuronal variability: noise or part of the signal?
TL;DR: This work discusses the question of variation in the intervals between spikes in sensory and motor processes, as the signals are best identified in such systems, although the work also touches on central processes.

Impulses and Physiological States in Theoretical Models of Nerve Membrane
TL;DR: Van der Pol's equation for a relaxation oscillator is generalized by the addition of terms to produce a pair of non-linear differential equations with either a stable singular point or a limit cycle, which qualitatively resembles Bonhoeffer's theoretical model for the iron wire model of nerve.

Electrophysiology of a Dendritic Neuron Model
TL;DR: The development of a mathematical model of dendritic neurons was begun because of a need to combine three different kinds of knowledge into a coherent theory, namely, the anatomical concept of the neuron, the theoretical development of the nerve membrane models, and a detailed body of quantitative electrophysiological information obtained from individual neurons by means of intracellular and extracellular microelectrodes.
