Theory of correlation in a network with synaptic depression

Yasuhiko Igarashi, Masafumi Oizumi, and Masato Okada
Synaptic depression affects not only the mean responses of neurons but also the correlation of response variability in neural populations. Although previous studies have constructed a theory of correlation in a spiking neuron model by using the mean-field theory framework, synaptic depression has no ... [Phys. Rev.
