    The effects of action potential propagation delay times and an absolute refractory period upon the synchronization index in the integrate and fire neuron model and a comparison with neurons in the auditory pathway
    Kuhlmann, L. ; Burkitt, A. N. ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 2000)
    The effects of action potential (AP) propagation delay times and the absolute refractory period upon the synchronization index are analysed for the integrate and fire neuron model, and the results are compared with recordings from auditory ganglion neurons and cochlear nucleus neurons. In the model the noisy periodic synaptic input to the neuron is summed and an AP is generated when the membrane potential reaches threshold. The output phase distribution (phase histogram) is calculated at the site at which the APs are generated. The AP propagation delay times along an axon are modelled using a periodically wrapped Gaussian distribution, with the width fitted from experimental data. This distribution is convolved with the calculated phase distribution to obtain the phase distribution at the axon terminal.
