“…The signatures depend both on the particular settings of the individual neurons and on the topology of connections, but this topology is the final shaper of the neural signatures. The results reported in this section can be reproduced with other neuron models and network architectures [13,14]. In general, the presence of slow chemical connections produced a more precise ISI return plot than those corresponding to the circuits without the slow synapses.…”

“…The AB is tuned into a regular spiking-bursting behav-ior. We have chosen a chaotic spiking regime for the PY and one of the PD neurons, while the second PD and the LP are set into a chaotic spiking-bursting behavior (for details see [13,14]). When we connect the neurons in the circuits specified above, a characteristic triphasic rhythm arises independently of the mode of activity in isolation and the particular connection topology used in the network.…”

Abstract.A traditional view in neuroscience is that information arriving through one channel, i.e. a synapse, is encoded through a single code in the signal, e.g., the rate or the precise timing of the incoming events. However, not all the neural readers have to be interested in the same aspect of a common input signal, especially in multifunctional networks that can take advantage of several simultaneous codes. Multiple codes can be used to discriminate or contextualize certain inputs, even in single neurons. Dynamical mechanisms can add to the existing hard-wired connectivity for this task. Recent experiments have revealed the existence of neural signatures in the activity of bursting cells of invertebrate central pattern generators. These signatures consist of cell-specific spike timings in the bursting activity of the neurons. The signatures coexist with the information encoded in the frequency and/or phase relationships of the slow waves. The functional role of these neural fingerprints is still unclear. Based on experiments and using conductance-based models, we discuss the origin and the role of neural signatures as a part of a multicoding strategy for single cells in different types of neural circuits.

“…The intraburst spike distribution of CPG neurons has not been analyzed in great detail since, typically, it is thought that the slow wave dynamics is the main factor shaping the rhythmic behavior of the system. However, several recent experimental and modeling results indicate that the temporal structure of the bursts can be important for CPG neurons [8,9,10,11]. In particular, CPG cells could use the specific temporal structure of their fast dynamics, in addition to the phase and frequency of the slow wave, as an information encoding mechanism.…”

“…These signatures consist of a cell-specific interspike interval (ISI) distribution. The origin of these signatures has been studied using model networks [9,10,11]. In these models the synaptic configuration of the network is the main factor shaping the signatures, although the intrinsic dynamics of each cell can also contribute to the specific ISI distributions.…”

Abstract.We have explored the role of the interaction of slow and fast intracellular dynamics in generating precise spiking-bursting activity in a model of the heartbeat central pattern generator of the leech. In particular we study the effect of calcium-dependent currents on the neural signatures generated in the circuit. These neural signatures are cell-specific interspike intervals in the spiking-bursting activity of each neuron. Our results show that the slow dynamics of intracelullar calcium concentration can regulate the precision and shape of the neural signatures.
