Abstract
This presents an application of stochastic resonance in a data-driven nonlinear bistable system, in which inhibitory and excitatory electrophysiological neuronal activity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is quantified in a control and a putative rodent model of schizophrenia brains. An empirical mode decomposition protocol was applied for processing and analyzing the spike data. Within the different experimental conditions, we extracted different asymmetric shapes of bistable model potentials using the Fokker–Planck equation (FPE). Our analyses in control brains suggest that neuronal firing, along with noise (e.g., synaptic activity) before and after amphetamine administration provide asymmetries with phase transition in the bistable model allowing bidirectional information flow. Such transitions appear to be impaired in the disease model.
