Summary
The effect of a weak periodic perturbation on the firing activity of two different types of neurons is investigated. Post-stimulus and interspike interval histograms are built up from the times of occurrence of the action potentials and a comparative analysis is performed between the two preparations. A discussion of how the leaky integrate-and-fire model can mimic the experimental data is included.
