Response space construction for neural error correction

A physiological neuron model that incorporates the recognized prototype of an inhibitory synapse was analyzed in terms of the effects of isolated inhibitory post-synaptic potentials on its ongoing behavior. The nonstationary, transient activity resulting from these perturbations cannot be analyzed in terms of motion on some attractor (because of long-duration aftereffects) nor linearized (as the perturbations are large). Instead, results suggest that changes in the value of either of the system´s slow state variables may be used to construct a global response space, within which all attractors and nonstationary behaviors exist.
