相关神经活动对持续振荡的锁定

Locking of correlated neural activity to ongoing oscillations

Tobias Kühn, Moritz Helias

摘要:

在皮层活动的介观信号中普遍观察到群体范围的振荡。在这些网络状态中,全局振荡周期调节神经元的放电倾向。神经元的同步激活被假设为大脑中信号处理信息的单独通道。因此,一个突出的问题是,振荡是否以及如何与尖峰同步相互作用,以及这些通道在多大程度上可以被认为是分开的。实验确实表明,相关尖峰与静态放电率共同调制,并且也紧紧锁定在β振荡的相位上。虽然在前馈网络中相关性对平均速率的依赖性是很好理解的,但仍然不清楚相关性为什么以及通过什么机制紧密锁定到振荡周期。我们在这里证明,这种相关的激活对神经元定性地解释了随机驱动的随机网络。我们确定的协方差依赖于驱动周期性刺激的机制。平均场理论结合线性响应理论给出了二元递归随机网络的循环平稳平均活动和两两零时滞协方差的封闭表达式。两种不同的机制导致时变协方差:单个神经元敏感性的调制(通过外部输入和网络反馈)和单个单元活动的时变方差。对于某些参数,有效抑制的经常性反馈导致共振协方差,即使平均活动显示非共振行为。我们的分析结果开放的问题,时间调制的同步活动的定量分析。

英文摘要:

Population-wide oscillations are ubiquitously observed in mesoscopic signals of cortical activity. In these network states a global oscillatory cycle modulates the propensity of neurons to fire. Synchronous activation of neurons has been hypothesized to be a separate channel of signal processing information in the brain. A salient question is therefore if and how oscillations interact with spike synchrony and in how far these channels can be considered separate. Experiments indeed showed that correlated spiking co-modulates with the static firing rate and is also tightly locked to the phase of beta-oscillations. While the dependence of correlations on the mean rate is well understood in feed-forward networks, it remains unclear why and by which mechanisms correlations tightly lock to an oscillatory cycle. We here demonstrate that such correlated activation of pairs of neurons is qualitatively explained by periodically-driven random networks. We identify the mechanisms by which covariances depend on a driving periodic stimulus. Mean-field theory combined with linear response theory yields closed-form expressions for the cyclostationary mean activities and pairwise zero-time-lag covariances of binary recurrent random networks. Two distinct mechanisms cause time-dependent covariances: the modulation of the susceptibility of single neurons (via the external input and network feedback) and the time-varying variances of single unit activities. For some parameters, the effectively inhibitory recurrent feedback leads to resonant covariances even if mean activities show non-resonant behavior. Our analytical results open the question of time-modulated synchronous activity to a quantitative analysis.
