1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

A neuron receives input from other neurons via electrical pulses, so-called spikes. The pulse-like nature of the input is frequently neglected in analytical studies; instead, the input is usually approximated to be Gaussian. Recent experimental studies have shown, however, that an assumption underlying this approximation is often not met: Individual presynaptic spikes can have a significant effect on a neuron's dynamics. It is thus desirable to explicitly account for the pulse-like nature of neural input, i.e. consider neurons driven by a shot noise - a long-standing problem that is mathematically challenging. In this work, we exploit the fact that excitatory shot noise with exponentially distributed weights can be obtained as a limit case of dichotomous noise, a Markovian two-state process. This allows us to obtain novel exact expressions for the stationary voltage density and the moments of the interspike-interval density of general integrate-and-fire neurons driven by such an input. For the special case of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons, we also give expressions for the power spectrum and the linear response to a signal. We verify and illustrate our expressions by comparison to simulations of leaky-, quadratic- and exponential integrate-and-fire neurons.
