Abstract

The subthreshold dynamics of a neuron can follow one of the two patterns: resonant neurons generate intrinsic subthreshold membrane potential oscillations, whereas in nonresonant neurons these oscillations are not observed. Here, we investigate how these subthreshold behaviors affect the suprathreshold response. Both types of neurons are described by a resonate and fire model, with the stable fixpoint being either a focus or a node. Using analytic expression for a linear oscillator model with threshold and reset, we calculate the multimodal interspike interval densities. We show that a change in model parameters induces qualitative changes in the interspike interval densities.
