V(t) is ‘membrane potential’ of a neuron
f(V) is a decreasing linear fn of its current value, with f(0)=20V/sec
neuron fires when V(t)=Vfire=−0.05V
afterwards, returns to resting value Vrest=−0.075V
baseline frequency of firing is 200Hz
what should slope of f(V) be?
f(V)=mV+20
dtdV=mV+20
dt=mV+201dV
∫dt=∫mV+201dV
∫mV+201dV=m1ln∣mV+20∣
t+C=m1ln∣mV+20∣
mt+C=ln∣mV+20∣
emt+C=mV+20
Cemt=mV+20
V(t)=mCemt−20
V(t)=Cemt−m20
V(0)=V0=Cemt−m20
V0=C−m20
C=V0+m20
V(t)=(V0+m20)emt−m20
assuming V0=Vrest
V(t)=(−0.075+m20)emt−m20
and with 200Hz
V(2001)=−0.05V=(−0.075+m20)e2001m−m20
m=231.278
so f(V)=231.278V+20
how does firing frequency depend on f(V)?
V(t)=(−0.075+m20)emt−m20
emtV+m20=−0.075+m20
emt=−0.075+m20V+m20
t=mln(−0.075+m20V+m20)
t=mln(−0.075+m20Vfire+m20) for firing based on some slope m for f(V)
