Exact firing time statistics of neurons driven by discrete inhibitory noise

Abstract Neurons in the intact brain receive a continuous and irregular synaptic bombardment from excitatory and inhibitory pre- synaptic neurons, which determines the firing activity of the stimulated neuron. In order to investigate the influence of inhibitory stimulation on the firing time statist...
