"... Here we demonstrate, via a detailed computational model, a mechanism whereby physiological noise and coupling initiate oscillations and then recruit neighboring tissue, in a manner well described by a combination of Stochastic Resonance and Coherence Resonance. We develop a novel statistical method to quantify recruitment using several measures of network synchrony. This measurement demonstrates that oscillations spread via preexisting network connections such as interneuronal connections, recurrent synapses, and gap junctions, provided that neighboring cells also receive sufficient inputs in the form of random synaptic noise. ..."

function tricolorspikeraster(spikefile)

%this function takes a spikeraster matrix "spikefile" and plots the raster
%with the Driver pyramidal cells blue, Neighbor pyr black, and baskets red


index=(spikefile(:,2)>80);   %index of baskets and neighbors
bindex=(spikefile(:,2)>100);  %index of basket cells
nindex=~index;  %not index is all 80 and below
neighborindex=((spikefile(:,2)>80) & (spikefile(:,2)<101)) ;
%scatter(spikefile(index,1),spikefile(index,2),3,'k','.')
scatter(spikefile(neighborindex,1),spikefile(neighborindex,2),3,'k','.')
hold on
scatter(spikefile(nindex,1),spikefile(nindex,2),3,'b','.')
scatter(spikefile(bindex,1),spikefile(bindex,2),3,'r','.')   %overdraws the baskets from index, if neighborindex is not used
hold off
end

% for splitting by halves- index=rem(spikefile(:,2),2);
% workingindex=index==1;
%scatter(spikefile(workingindex,1),spikefile(workingindex,2));
