Stochastically gating ion channels enable patterned spike firing through activity-dependent modulation of spike probability.
The transformation of synaptic input into patterns of spike output is a fundamental operation that is determined by the particular complement of ion channels that a neuron expresses. Although it is well established that individual ion channel proteins make stochastic transitions between conducting a...
