Information Processing in Extended Hodgkin-Huxley Neuron Model

Models of a variety of neurons share the same form as the Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) neuron and evidence suggests that single-compartment models can capture the key properties of in vivo and in vitro neurons. In this paper we are going to discuss about how the conductance of the excitatory and inhibitory synapse vary when the pre synaptic action potential arrived at the synapse and how this synaptic conductance affects the information transfer in the single neuron. In our model the injected current is replaced with the synaptic current in the HH model. In order to validate the impact of excitatory and inhibitory synapse in the generation of action potential, the extended HH model is examined with various synaptic inputs.
