Abstract

We define a biological communication system at the level of a single neuron and quantify the temporal variability of afferent and efferent impulse patterns by means of an interval entropy measure. Two signal transmission conditions which bound a physiologically plausible range of transmission possibilities are explored. The number of efferent synapses is predicted by matching estimates of the mean efferent entropy to the total afferent entropy.
