| Jul 9 at 18:45 | comment | added | user3667125 | Small follow-up question: "All neurons fire at some rate, and there are homeostatic mechanisms to prevent neurons from never firing" <-- would this explain why some neurons randomly fire and the spike timing charts seem stochastic rather than deterministic? These "random fires" should mostly be meaningless right? i.e. it shouldn't convey any real information to the brain? | |
