Relation between firing statistics of spiking neuron with instantaneous feedback and without feedback

Abstract

We consider a wide class of spiking neuron models, defined by rather general set of conditions typical for basic models like leaky integrate and fire, or binding neuron model. A neuron is fed with a point renewal process. A relation between the three probability density functions (pdf): (i) pdf of input interspike intervals, (ii) pdf of output interspike intervals of a neuron with instantaneous feedback and (iii) pdf for that same neuron without feedback is derived. This allows to calculate any of the three pdfs provided the another two are given. Similar relation between corresponding means and variances is derived. The relations are checked exactly for the binding neuron model.
