Inhibition of rhythmic spiking by colored noise in neural systems
We study the effect of colored noise on the rhythmic spiking activity of neural systems in this paper. The phenomenon of the so-called inverse stochastic resonance , that is, noise with appropriate intensity suppresses the spiking activity in neural systems, is clearly observed in a special parameter regime. We find that the inhibition effect of colored noise is stronger than that of Gaussian white noise. Furthermore, our simulation results show that the inhibition effect of colored noise provides a useful mechanism for the generation of synchronized burst in type-2 mixed-feed-forward-feedback loop neuronal network motif, which indicates that such inhibition effect might have some biological implications.
