A stochastic model for neuronal bursting.
A new stochastic model for bursting of neuronal firing is proposed. It is based on stochastic diffusion and related to the first passage time problem. However, the model is not of renewal type. Its form and parameters are physiologically interpretable. Parametric and non-parametric inferential issues are discussed.
