Simulating ion channel noise in an auditory brainstem neuron model (Schmerl & McDonnell 2013)

" ... Here we demonstrate that biophysical models of channel noise can give rise to two
kinds of recently discovered stochastic facilitation effects in a Hodgkin-Huxley-like model of auditory brainstem
neurons. The first, known as slope-based stochastic resonance (SBSR), enables phasic neurons to emit action
potentials that can encode the slope of inputs that vary slowly relative to key time constants in the model.
The
second, known as inverse stochastic resonance (ISR), occurs in tonically firing neurons when small levels of
noise inhibit tonic firing and replace it with burstlike dynamics. ..."
