--- abstract: The source of variability in the interval between action potentials has been identified in a class of cat spinal motoneurons. The observed random fluctuations in membrane potential (synaptic noise) together with an empirical description of spike generation accurately predict the statistical structure of variability observed to occur in the neuron's discharge. altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Calvin given: W H honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Stevens given: C F honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1967 date_type: published datestamp: 1998-03-19 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/00/06 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 6 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/text_html.png;/6/1/1967Science.htm full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:53:36 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 842-844 pubdom: FALSE publication: Science publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 8 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:21:34 subjects: - neuro-physio succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Synaptic noise as a source of variability in the interval between action potentials. type: journalp userid: 23 volume: 155
