Postsynaptic Membrane Response Predicted from Presynaptic Input Pattern in Lobster Cardiac Ganglion

Given the pattern of impulses impinging on a neuron, it should be possible to predict its output firing pattern if enough is known about pre- and postsynaptic properties. A quantitative reproduction of the first part of this input-output conversion is reported, namely the translation of input patter...

Summary:Given the pattern of impulses impinging on a neuron, it should be possible to predict its output firing pattern if enough is known about pre- and postsynaptic properties. A quantitative reproduction of the first part of this input-output conversion is reported, namely the translation of input pattern into a sequence of postsynaptic membrane potential variations.
