Paradoxical Signal Transduction in Neurobiological Systems
2001
Molecular Neurobiology
Information processing in neurobiological systems is commonly thought to rely on the assessment of a signal-to-noise ratio as the key mechanism of signal detection; it assumes and requires that both signal and noise are concurrently available. An alternative theory holds that detection proceeds by the system appreciating any instantaneous input by the input's departure from the moving average of past activity. The evidence reviewed here suggests that this latter transduction mechanism provides
