One version assumes that each population operates close to an asynchronous state for large ({mathcal{N}}) [18, 19], so that one-step changes in population activity occur relatively slowly.
There are two versions of the neural master equation, which can be distinguished by the size of the sliding window width Δt. (Note that the stochastic models are keeping track of changes in population activity).
Oscillations in population activity are also important in sensory processing.
Simultaneous excitation of the vSub and PPTg induced significant increases in population activity and burst firing in MDNs [48] [48].
Response patterns before and during application of NBQX showed obvious similarities, indicating that NBQX did not cause major changes in population activity patterns.
According to our computational theory, such a selective decrease in population activity (called "selective desensitization" in our theory) is a simple and reasonable method of integrating two types of information to evoke different actions depending on how they are combined [27].
We did not detect a significant increase in population activity in DAT-NR1 KO mice.
Examining the changes in population activity related to learning is motivated by the fact that sensory information is actually encoded in a distributed manner across populations of neurons.
An alternative possibility is that learning causes pronounced changes in the way in which information is encoded in population activity, but weaker changes at the single-cell level.
