AbstractCortical neurons are characterized by their variable spiking patterns. We challenge prevalent theories for the origin of spiking variability. We examine the specific hypothesis that cortical synchrony drives spiking variability in vivo. Using dynamic clamp, we demonstrate that intrinsic neuronal properties do not contribute substantially to spiking variability, but rather spiking variability emerges from weakly synchronous network drive.

AbstractThe retina maintains sensitivity over a large range of luminance intensities by switching between rod and cone photoreceptors. This luminance adaptation has been shown to alter the receptive fields and interneuronal correlations of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs).
