A note on the diffusion approximation for single neuron firing problems

Summary This paper presents a well-known stochastic model used to describe the firing or discharge pattern of a single neuron in terms of various input processes, and shows how the potential level of the neuron can be given by means of a diffusion equation approximation. There is a discussion of the adequacy of this approximation, and the paper concludes with a brief discussion of first passage time problems.Supported in part by a grant from the Alfred P.
