Nonstationary shot noise modeling of neuron membrane potentials by closed-form moments and Gram-Charlier expansions

We present exact analytical expressions of moments of all orders for neuronal membrane potentials in the multiplicative nonstationary Poisson shot noise model. As an application, we derive closed-form Gram-Charlier density expansions that show how the probability density functions of potentials in s...

Description
Summary:We present exact analytical expressions of moments of all orders for neuronal membrane potentials in the multiplicative nonstationary Poisson shot noise model. As an application, we derive closed-form Gram-Charlier density expansions that show how the probability density functions of potentials in such models differ from their Gaussian diffusion approximations. This approach extends the results of Brigham and Destexhe (Preprint, 2015a; Phys Rev E 91:062102, 2015b) by the use of exact combinatorial expressions for the moments of multiplicative nonstationary filtered shot noise processes. Our results are confirmed by stochastic simulations and apply to single- and multiple-noise-source models.
