We study coherence resonance (CR) in the FitzHugh–Nagumo (FHN) neurons under cross-correlated sine-Wiener (CCSW) noises. It is numerically demonstrated that the reciprocal coefficient of variance of inter-spike intervals (R) increases with increasing amplitude or correlation time of CCSW noises, reaches the maximum at proper amplitude or correlation time, and then decreases, suggesting the appearance of CR phenomenon. In addition, the occurrence of CR is sensitive to a parameter range of amplitudes and correlation times of CCSW noises. Thus, CR can be controlled by regulating the amplitudes and correlation times of CCSW noises in the FHN excitable systems.

Coherence resonance describes a phenomenon in excitable systems in which a suitable dose of noise generates excitation-events that maximizes its periodicity or coherence. The Fano-factor, defined as the ratio of the standard deviation of the time-intervals between successive events and the average time interval, exhibits a minimum at this optimal noise level. It is shown here that a decreasing Fano factor is a necessary but not a sufficient criterion to indicate enhanced coherence of a signal.

We investigate how the temporal correlation in excitable systems driven by external noise affects the coherence of the system's response. The coupling to the fluctuating environment is introduced via fluctuations of a bifurcation parameter that controls the local dynamics of the light-sensitive Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction and of its numerical description, the Oregonator model. Both systems are brought from a highly incoherent regime to a coherent one by an appropriate choice of the correlation time and keeping noise variance constant. This effect has been found both for an Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process and for a dichotomous telegraph signal. In the latter case, we are able to connect the optimal correlation time, for which the system behaviour is most coherent, with a characteristic time scale of the system.

The effect of coherence resonance can change the firing process in noise-driven excitable systems towards rather regular dynamics. This effect provides a mechanism of the generation of stochastic oscillations whose characteristics are controlled by noise intensity. Following this, a noisy excitable system can be considered as a corehence resonance oscillator. For such functional units, we investigate the mutual and forced synchronization in terms of locking of the peak frequencies in the power spectrum and also in terms of phase locking. The connection of synchronization phenomenon of noise-induced oscillations and coherence resonance effect is discussed. The examples, studied numerically and experimentally, include Morris–Lecar neuron model and a monovibrator electronic circuit, respectively.

A major application of potentiometric dyes has been the multisite optical recording of electrical activity in excitable systems. After being championed by L.B. Cohen and his colleagues for the past 20 years, the impact of this technology is rapidly being felt and is spreading to an increasing number of neuroscience laboratories. A second class of experiments involves using dyes to image membrane potential distributions in single cells by digital imaging microscopy - a major focus of this lab. These studies usually do not require the temporal resolution of multisite optical recording, being primarily focussed on slow cell biological processes, and therefore can achieve much higher spatial resolution. We have developed 2 methods for quantitative imaging of membrane potential. One method uses dual wavelength imaging of membrane-staining dyes and the other uses quantitative 3D imaging of a fluorescent lipophilic cation; the dyes used in each case were synthesized for this purpose in this laboratory.
