Abstract
In this paper, we analyze neural spike dynamics of a double feedback neural unit (DFNU). An essential emphasis of the analysis is on use of the DFNU's simple formulations that can provide quantitative analytic results. Comparing dynamics of Hodgkin-Huxley model to that of the DFNU, it is shown that dynamics of the DFNU is also physiologically plausible under a condition. The results suggest that high-frequency firings are relatively appropriate for a neural informational carrier due to the reliability and robustness to noisy inputs. To realize such reliable spike communication, we improved the DFNU's performance by using extra noisy inputs with appropriate amplitudes. Simulation studies show that there is optimal region of the amplitude that makes the DFNU possess the noise-enhanced reliable communication ability as similar to stochastic resonance phenomena.
