Stochastic resonance is known as a phenomenon whereby information transmission of weak signal or subthreshold stimuli can be enhanced by additive random noise with a suitable intensity. Another phenomenon induced by applying deterministic pulsatile electric stimuli with a pulse frequency, commonly used for deep brain stimulation (DBS), was also shown to improve signal-to-noise ratio in neuron models. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that pulsatile high-frequency stimulation could improve the detection of both sub- and suprathreshold synaptic stimuli by tuning the frequency of the stimulation in a population of pyramidal neuron models. Computer simulations showed that mutual information estimated from a population of neural spike trains displayed a typical resonance curve with a peak value of the pulse frequency at 80–120 Hz, similar to those utilized for DBS in clinical situations. It is concluded that a “pulse-frequency-dependent resonance” (PFDR) can enhance information transmission over a broad range of synaptically connected networks. Since the resonance frequency matches that used clinically, PFDR could contribute to the mechanism of the therapeutic effect of DBS.
