Summary:
In this study, I investigated sensitivity of a single neuron to synchronous presynaptic firings for log-normal synaptic weight distribution from a viewpoint of spike transmission. For the comparison, I also tested various types of synaptic weight distribution. As a result, the synchrony of presynaptic neurons was less efficient on the spike information transmission at the strongest synapse in systems with the log-normal synaptic weight distribution than in systems with the other types of synaptic weight distribution. My result suggest that the synchrony plays a role of efficiently improving the spike transmission of populations of weak synapses.
