The increasing availability of multiunit recordings gives new urgency to the need for effective analysis of ldquomultidimensionalrdquo time-series data that are derived from the recorded activity of neuronal ensembles in the form of multiple sequences of action potentials-treated mathematically as point-processes and computationally as spike-trains. Whether in conditions of spontaneous activity or...
A multi-input modeling approach is introduced to quantify hippocampal neural dynamics. It is based on the Volterra modeling approach extended to multiple inputs. The computed Volterra kernels allow quantitative description of hippocampal transformations and define a predictive model that can produce responses to arbitrary input patterns. Electrophysiological data from several CA3 and CA1 cells in...
A new modeling approach of hippocampal nonlinear dynamics is presented. It is based on Principal Dynamics Modes (PDMs) derived from the Volterra kernels quantifying the hippocampal transformations. The approach is illustrated using data obtained from acute hippocampal slice preparations and from behaving rats performs a memory task. The resulting PDM models are comparable in performance to the Volterra...
This paper presents a novel modeling approach for neural systems with point-process inputs and outputs (binary time-series of 0's and 1's) that utilizes Boolean operators of modulo-2 multiplication and addition, corresponding to the logical AND and OR operations respectively. The form of the employed mathematical model is akin to a "Boolean-Volterra" model that contains the product terms...
We are developing a biomimetic electronic neural prosthesis to replace regions of the hippocampal brain area that have been damaged by disease or insult. We have used the hippocampal slice preparation as the first step in developing such a prosthesis. The major intrinsic circuitry of the hippocampus consists of an excitatory cascade involving the dentate gyrus (DG), CA3, and CA1 subregions; this trisynaptic...
