Abstract

Manifestation of a monosynaptic excitatory connection in the structure of the cross-correlation histogram was studied on a mathematical model of interneuronal interaction. Specific features of the shape and position of the primary peak on the cross-correlation histogram distinguishing monosynaptic excitation of one neuron by another from monosynaptic excitation of these units by a third neuron are described. The height of the primary peak is shown to change with a change in certain parameters of the model describing mechanisms of action potential generation and synaptic transmission of excitation. The structure of the autocorrelation histogram is shown to be reflected to some extent in the structure of the cross-correlation histogram on either side of the primary peak and to take part in the formation of secondary peaks and troughs.
