In the brain, the postsynaptic response of a neuron to time-varying inputs is determined by the interaction of presynaptic spike times with the short-term dynamics of each synapse. For a neuron driven by stochastic synapses, synaptic depression results in a quite different postsynaptic response to a large population input depending on how correlated in time the spikes across individual synapses are. Here we show using both simulations and mathematical analysis that not only the rate but the phase of the postsynaptic response to a rhythmic population input varies as a function of synaptic dynamics and synaptic configuration. Resultant phase leads may compensate for transmission delays and be predictive of rhythmic changes. This could be particularly important for sensory processing and motor rhythm generation in the nervous system. The synapses that connect neurons in the brain are far from being simple relay points that pass a signal from one neuron to another. There is now much evidence that long term changes in the strength of such connections, which determines the amplitude of the received signal, underpin learning and memory in the brain. However, signal amplitudes also fluctuate on fast time scales of milliseconds to seconds due to a variety of particular presynaptic mechanisms that regulate the release of neurotransmitter from the presynaptic terminal. Understanding the signal filtering properties of this short-term plasticity (STP) is a challenge and requires theoretical models. Aspects such as rate filtering and information transfer have been studied. Here we explore the effects of STP on the phase of a receiving neuron’s response to oscillating input and show that short-term depression can result in a frequency-dependent phase lead. This may be particularly important in the processing of rhythmic visual and auditory signals and producing rhythmic motor outputs.
