The role of coincidence-detector neurons in the reliability and precision of subthreshold signal detection in noise.

Subthreshold signal detection is an important task for animal survival in complex environments, where noise increases both the external signal response and the spontaneous spiking of neurons. The mechanism by which neurons process the coding of signals is not well understood. Here, we propose that c...
