Maximization in Single Neurons
Hodgkin-Huxley-A (HHA) Model
To implement
information maximization learning rules in spiking neurons, a simplified
model of a neuron consisting of two electrotonic compartments was constructed.
The soma (or cell body), illustrated in Fig. 1,contains the classic
Hodgkin-Huxley sodium and delayed rectifier conductances with the addition
of a transient potassium ``A"-current and an adaptation current.

To make the model scale invariant, we normalize all model conductances
and capacitances by the membrane area for both the somatic and the dendritic
compartment. When an arbitrary scale is assigned in figures, it is .
