Upregulation of transmitter release probability improves a conversion of synaptic analogue signals into neuronal digital spikes

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Action potentials at the neurons and graded signals at the synapses are primary codes in the brain. In terms of their functional interaction, the studies were focused on the influence of presynaptic spike patterns on synaptic activities. How the synapse dynamics...
