Emergence of resonances in neural systems: the interplay between adaptive threshold and short-term synaptic plasticity.

In this work we study the detection of weak stimuli by spiking (integrate-and-fire) neurons in the presence of certain level of noisy background neural activity. Our study has focused in the realistic assumption that the synapses in the network present activity-dependent processes, such as short-ter...
