Action potential initial mechanism control of a minimum model response to constant and sinusoidal stimulus

Neuron encodes the information inputs from the dendrites by generating different firing patterns. The different firing patterns result from different action potential initial dynamic mechanisms. In this paper, we adopt a minimum neuron model, design the Wash-out filter from a physiological view, and achieve the transition between different action potential initial dynamic mechanisms. Finally, we demonstrate the physiological basis of Wash-out filter, which is affecting the result of competition between currents with different dynamics in the sub-threshold potential.
