Neuronal communication forms the basis for all behavior, from the
smallest movement to our grandest thought processes. Among the many
mechanisms that support these functions, spike timing is among the
most powerful and-until recently-perhaps the least studied. In the
last two decades, however, the study of spike timing has exploded.
The heightened interest is due to several factors. These include
the development of physiological tools for measuring the activity
of neural ensembles and analytical tools for assessing and
characterizing spike timing. These advances are coupled with a
growing appreciation of spike timing's theoretical importance for
the design principles of the brain. Spike Timing: Mechanisms and
Function examines the function of spike timing in sensory, motor,
and integrative processes, providing readers with a broad
perspective on how spike timing is produced and used by the nervous
system. It brings together the work and ideas of leaders in the
field to address current thinking as well as future possibilities.
The first section of the book describes the foundation for
quantitative analysis and theory. It examines the information
contained in spike timing, how it can be quantified, and how neural
systems can extract it. The second section explores how
input-output relationships are reflected in spike timing across a
range of sensory systems. Drawing together multiple perspectives,
including theoretical and computational studies as well as
experimental studies in a range of model systems, the book provides
a firm background for investigators to consider spike timing as it
applies to their own work. It also offers a glimpse of future
advances related to mechanisms of spike timing and its role in
neural function, such as the development of novel computational
technologies.
