Press Release
Antoinette Peterson advises friends through her blog, Sister Save-A-Lot, how to spend no more than $20 for a year's worth of school supplies.
Now that her 4-year-old daughter, Madison, is entering kindergarten at St. Dorothy School this fall, she is leveraging her own savvy-shopping skills.
"It's a whole new adventure," said the Morgan Park resident.
She is realizing the best deals by watching for coupons and special sales and taking newspaper ads into certain retailers that match lowest-advertised prices. Examples include 39-cent highlighters and 20-cent spiral notebooks at Target, and 1-cent folder and notebook paper sales at Staples.
Peterson found affordable school uniforms at local retailer Zemsky's Family Fashion Stores.
Shoppers also may grab deals by staggering clothing purchases and inventorying drawers and closets rather than buying a new wardrobe in one trip, says Jill Cataldo, a coupon expert and mother of three based in Huntley. Once a child sees what his friends are wearing, he and the parents can find clothing sales after Labor Day, she said.
For backpacks, Cataldo advises checking whether your favorite store's loyalty program allows you to get one for free.
Cataldo, who blogs at JillCataldo.com, advises checking discount- and office-supply stores' newspaper fliers for deals, and pick up the best "loss leader" item one at a time.
"People are in a hurry to get their back-to-school shopping done, so they'll check off their entire list in one trip. But you'll end up paying more than if you pick up the best deals while you're already out doing errands. If you take advantage of those penny and 5-cent sales every week, you can check off the entire list for $5 to $10," she said.
Parents of elementary-school students nationwide are expected to pay a total of $132.37 for supplies needed to fill a backpack, including books, notebooks, scissors, pencils, pens and the backpack itself, according to the 2011 Backpack Index issued by Huntington Bank, a Columbus, Ohio-based bank that operates in six Midwestern states. It estimates $159.22 for middle schoolers' basic supplies and $900.70 for high school students.
The elementary school backpack index's highest expenses are for six two-pocket folders ($13.74), an assignment book ($10.99), the backpack ($8), two large boxes of tissue ($5.98) and 500 sheets of plain paper ($5.49). For high school supplies, a $120 calculator and $32 worth of books top the expenses.
The biggest price increases from last summer are required to meet school mandates that elementary students bring more paper and notebooks, the survey found.
Other surveys forecast a wide range of spending for back-to-school amid conflicting trends: While parents pinch pennies as they worry about higher gasoline prices and the air-conditioning expenses of a hot summer, they are increasingly shopping at department stores for teen-celebrity-endorsed clothes. Yet they will spend less on smartphones, tablet computers and other electronics, which kids now buy throughout the year as updated models go on the market.
A fashion trend influencing the buying this year is celebrity-endorsed and influenced clothing and accessories, such as Macy's Material Girl line by Madonna and her daughter, Lourdes; Kmart's Dream Out Loud line by Selena Gomez; Wal-Mart's Miley Cyrus for Max Azria line; Target's William Rest line by Justin Timberlake; JC Penney's Olsenboye from Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen and Kohl's Britney Spears for Candie's.
Another hit is Angry Birds, a puzzle video game whose characters now adorn backpacks, backpack clips, magnets and wallets.
Customer Growth Partners forecasts shoppers will increase their back-to-school spending by 6.2 percent from a year ago for elementary through college needs, to a record $467 billion nationwide. The forecast covers retail spending for July, August and September, and includes toys, sporting goods and home furnishings.
The National Retail Federation predicts flat spending totaling
$22.8 billion for grades K-12, estimating families will spend an average of $603.63 on clothes, electronics and school supplies, slightly less than last year's $606.40.
Both surveys include online, in-store and mobile-device-based spending.

In addition, check deal blogs. In Chicago, Tam's favorites include Frugalistic Mom, A Savings Wow and Antoinette Peterson's Sister Save-A-Lot.
Antoinette Peterson, a Morgan Park mom of daughter Madison, blogs to help save others money at Sister Save-A-Lot.
Her suggestions:
†Divide and Conquer Black Friday shopping. Take a partner and divide up the shopping list to ensure that you both get the items you were looking for.
†Use coupons that allow you to take an extra percentage off. For example, Children's Place items will be 30 percent off, and if you add the retailer's 20 percent off coupon, you are saving even more on kids' clothes. (Sign up for the stores' e-mails to get the extra savings coupons.)
†Take advantage of Wal-Mart and Target "ad match" opportunities. Check other retailers' offers to match their rivals' prices.
Lesley Tweedie, 31, of Roscoe Village, co-owns Roscoe Village Bikes with husband Alex, and she founded LittleIndependent.com for online shoppers who shop locally. She has a laid-back approach to holiday shopping:
If it feels hectic or stressful, slow down, pace yourself and try to have fun. A gift is meant to make the recipient feel special and cared for. If you find something that fills the need and is in your budget, get it and check it off your list.

About 120 million Americans are expected to log onto their computers on Cyber Monday — as many as half of them while at work — to look for a second and third wave of holiday deals.
Cyber Monday sales are expected to hit a record $1.2 billion, a 12.4 percent jump from last year, according to research firm IBISWorld. Online retail sales for the November-December holiday season are expected to total $60 billion, or 12 percent of all holiday retail sales — up from 6 percent of the total six years ago, according to Forrester Research.
Chicago's savviest bloggers offer tips for Cyber Monday, when retailers roll out deals ranging from a $79 Kindle 4 e-reader to one-day 50-percent-off deals on hotel stays.
Lesley Tweedie, founder of LittleIndependent.com for online shoppers who shop locally:
†A good deal and a good value are not always the same. Even if an item is 50-percent off with free shipping, if it won't make someone on your list feel special and keep you on your budget, then it's not a good value.
†Send Lou Malnati's pizza, Vienna Beef Hot Dogs, Manny's Delicatessen Corned Beef and other Chicago favorites with tastesofchicago.com. You can also order gift cards through the site.
Leyla Arsan, a blogger at SundayMorningSoliloquy.com and LotusMarketingServices.com:
†Pay attention because retailers sometimes announce various offers throughout the day.
†Earn extra points during the holidays with the Bonus Points Mall through American Express. Navigate to membershiprewards.com/earn, and search and shop from the listed retailers. It is possible to earn up to five times the usual points.
Antoinette Peterson, who blogs at Sister Save-A-Lot:
†When possible, use a free shipping code. Check out freeshipping.org for promo codes.
†Go after the flash sales first. If a site offers a limited number of items or if the sale is for a limited amount of time, go after that sale first if it's truly what you want.
†Create shopping accounts with the retailers where you plan to shop, and when you do, sign up to receive their newsletters and text alerts. Stores like Walmart are known for texting and emailing "members only" last-minute online deals.
†Sign up and shop through cash-back sites to receive a cash rebate just for shopping through a retailer's portal. Websites such as Ebates and ShopAtHome will put $5 into your account just for signing up.

Antoinette Peterson doesn't look like your typical coupon clipper. There are no thick reading glasses or blue-silver pin curls on this shopper … oh, no. Peterson's alter ego, Sister Save-A-Lot, is a modern sister who appreciates the finer things in life, and never pays full price for them.
Peterson first discovered couponing while in college; she mastered the art of frugal living after her mother lost her job, and Peterson and her daughter moved back home to help out.
"My income now had to cover three people. I started clipping more coupons, but I was not saving as much."
The first shopping trip as a serious coupon clipper changed her life. "I did a Facebook status where I said, 'I saved $11 at Target.' My friend from school was like, 'I save 80 percent every time I go shopping. So, I said, 'What do you do that I'm not doing?' I met her at my house, and my first shopping trip was at Jewel Osco, and the bill went from $95 to $9. After my first shopping trip went like that, I started my blog, and I started telling people, 'This is how you do it. I'm letting you know it's a secret out here, so take notes."
Here, she shares her top shopping secrets:
Get FREE Stuff.
"Coupon plus discount equals free or inexpensive. Also, Dollar Tree stores accept coupons, too, and you get a lot of stuff for free. A lot of people don't know that."
STACK your coupons.
"You're told you can use one coupon per purchase. Let me tell you what a 'purchase' is. If I have five items, that's one purchase, and I can use five different coupons. The majority of the coupons can be stacked [to use the store coupon and the manufacturer coupon]. Doubling a 50-cent coupon equals a dollar. However, if I have a dollar manufacturer's coupon and a dollar in-store coupon, that's two dollars."
Know the coupon schedule.
Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays are coupon insert days for most local newspapers. "If you ever forget to get your coupons on Sunday, check your Dollar Tree on Sunday morning."
Plan Ahead.
"Around every holiday, there's always a sale. Some holidays, like back in May, you could have purchased hot dogs, hot dog buns, and a pop for a penny; one penny, all name brand, Oscar Mayer, for one cent. But the difference is planning. For example, my daughter's birthday is in September. However, I have her goodie bags ready. I've been shopping for goodie bags for her party since last September."
Sister Save-A-Lot warns that couponing can be rewarding … and addictive. "When you're first starting out, couponing can be addictive once you realize that, all this time, you've paid full price. So, you're about to stock up now."

ISBN/ASIN: N/A | 2012 | English | mobi | 235/0 pages | 0.88 Mb
Publisher: Sergei Morozov | Author: Sergei Morozov, David Gillespie
The book Sex and Rank thoroughly corresponds to its title, as it is about sex and how sexual relations are predetermined by programs of rank which have come down to modern man from his distant ancestors.
Sex and Rank relates how partners are chosen, how different types of partner interact, how with age preferences shift in the choice of partner and relationships. Sex and Rank proposes a radically different approach to the relationships between the sexes in modern society based on the ancient programs that emerged in the process of evolution and the struggle of groups for resources. Sex and Rank in the third instance relates where this behavior came from, in the second describes how these types of behavior works and firstly how they are to be utilized in the modern world.
The book describes in plain language the most complex aspects of the nature of human relationships. It will be of interest and comprehensible to anyone wishing to make sense of the relationships between men and women, from teenagers to specialists.
The book does not consider such questions as 'why are two sexes necessary?' or 'why did we lose our body hair?' Sex and Rank is a practical book. It can be used as a self-help manual (as 'DIY') in which you can always find yourself and those around you, and which can be used as an effective way of constructing your own life.
What types of men prefer different types of women? Where did the 'real men' go? What in the irrational behaviour of women is really irrational? What is the cause of 'causeless' female aggression? How can an effective strategy of getting acquainted be selected? How do female preferences change with age? By what system does the woman change her partners? What are the causes of homosexuality? Which husbands do wives allow mistresses? How can the prospects of success when getting acquainted be assessed? Why should the owner of a small penis nevertheless buy a big car? Why should a man pay attention to trivia? Why are mature women drawn to exotica? What is not accurate in the phrase 'inferiority complex'? When does a woman want to be deceived? Where does the norm originate? What is not right when a woman goes hunting for skulls? Why are talents not inherited? How does a woman quickly lose interest in sex? Why do women not say what they mean? Just what kind of striptease should a mature man be shown? What kind of family should be maintained, and what should not? What do an aristocrat and an animal have in common? Why should a woman lose her head? What kind of man should not have his ear tickled? Where does homophobia originate? Why do some men 'calm down' with age and others not? Why do men see a shortage of women, and women a shortage of men? Who should a girl sleep with when there is no-one she loves to sleep with? Who should a woman pleasure orally and who not? Why does a vibrator not do the trick and how can it be made to work? What is the meaning of meanings? Why does the overwhelming majority of attempts by young men to get acquainted with young women fail, despite technologies? Why do healthy people go for BDSM? Why should one not have one's first sexual experience with a prostitute? Why do mature women not take an interest in young men? How do women choose their partners? With whom are women unfaithful, and who do they remain faithful to? What are the criteria whereby men choose their women? Can a woman get a man to fall in love with her? And vice versa?

The Yellow Wallpaper By Charlotte Perkins Gilman
The Short Story
Charlotte Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper was published in 1892 by The New England Magazine . The first time I read this short story was over 10 years ago and it intrigued me even more the second time I read it. The subject matter depicted in the symbolism could fit into modern day scenarios with elements the writing pulls upon such as (1) the value of a woman's self-expression within a marriage or the inability to be self-expressive, (2) being given the suggestion you'll feel better if you just "rest" so your state of mind is improved, and (3) not entirely liking the idea of subordination (no free-spirited will).
One interesting highlight of Gilman's writing is the similar method employed to demonstrate stream of consciousness, which was a literary style imposing a written flow of thoughts or feelings of a character or even the narrator. In the case of The Yellow Wallpaper , the flow of thoughts were a product of the narrator. James Joyce and Virginia Woolf also wrote using this method.
What I found particularly interesting about this story taking into consideration the time period in which it was published, Gilman took a daring step to address subjects for which she could have been greatly shunned. It was a time and a place where women were expected to be seen and not heard and certainly expected to be subordinate to their spouses.
There is a gothic thriller movie based on the name of this short story released in 2011 although it is not built on the story details. The Yellow Wallpaper short story is categorized as a Gothic horror genre, although the story is not edgy, nor scary. There have been other films based on this story, but I have not seen them. Likewise, students and young filmmakers have brought this story to film.
The Main Characters
The Narrator--Throughout the story, the narrator is telling us how her husband and sister-in-law are taking care of her and everything else. At the tail of the story, we read the name, "Jane," and we wonder if that is the narrator's name. We are seeing and feeling her life, her discontent, the manner in which her early signs of depression are treated, and how she is supposed to overcome everything that brings her discontent. The symbolic measures of her angst and unhappiness are displayed by the yellow wallpaper.
John--The narrator's husband is John. He is also a doctor and fully believes that her hysteria, which might have been postpartum related to childbirth, should be treated with lots of bed rest. He wants his wife to do nothing at all, nothing, including anything she might want to write. Their newborn child is being cared for by John's sister. According to John, women are to maintain their beauty and be dutiful caregivers. Ah, yes, and be content in their domestic obligations.
Jennie--The narrator's sister-in-law is Jennie who cares for their newborn child. She also helps out around the house and is very happy to do so. She fulfills the stereotyped mold of what a woman is supposed to accomplish daily (and with a smile).
The Main Plot
The story begins when the family is staying in a house for the summer and because the narrator is not doing well, she is more or less confined to a room upstairs which is also a nursery and contains hideous yellow wallpaper inside her own commentary. The symbolic measures in this short story involve the yellow wallpaper which could be representative of her illness (depression after giving birth). Also, yellow could be synonymous with sickly. When the narrator peers out the window, she sees a whole world that she is unable to be a part of and is all too familiar with what "role" a woman plays. The windows in the room are also barred which could reflect how women were chained to the household. Be cheery in domestic chores, always look lovely, and just don't think.
The narrator is instructed by her husband, John, who is also a doctor that what she needs is a lot of rest and she's to avoid too much of anything that would involve intellectual thought. She is treated like she is a poor sick child and she is resentful. Her angst is displayed with her thinking relationship with the wallpaper. And, because I want to persuade you to read the short story, I do not choose to give away all the details. The narrator is essentially wanting her freedom, her freedom to think and to be treated as her husband would want to be treated. Her husband does not want her to dwell on her "condition," but she does, especially at night. The narrator studies the patterns on the wallpaper and the pattern in and of itself is symbolic of the treatment of women and begins to see the wallpaper as a form of trapping that which wants to come out (free will).
About the Author
Charlotte Perkins Stetson was later known as Charlotte Perkins Gilman after she remarried. She wrote The Yellow Wallpaper in 1892 while residing in California. If you have never read this short story (click this link to access this short), I would persuade you to do so because it is a remarkable reflection of how women can feel trapped. I found it very interesting that she was able to cover this subject of "trapped" during the time period the story was written.
Gilman was a feminist who wanted to bring about social reform to women's roles. When she was 24, she married an artist by the name of Charles Walter Stetson. Ironically, after their daughter was born, Gilman did suffer a period of depression and when she sought advice from a neurologist, she was told that rest and little mind work would help cure her problem. The doctor's prescription of "rest-cure" is a subject also reflected in The Yellow Wallpaper. She eventually avoided the rest advice and blamed her emotional upsetness on her marriage and ultimately left Stetson. Later, she moved to California becoming very involved with feminist activities which included lecturing on women's rights.
In 1898, another of her books was published entitled, "Women and Economics: A Study of the Economic Relation between Men and Women as a Factor in Social Evolution." Many think this is one of her best works, but others also feel The Yellow Wallpaper is one of her best works.
George Houghton Gilman, whom she married in 1900, supported her cause. She published a monthly journal, The Forerunner, from 1909 to 1916. Sadly, in 1935, she learned she had cancer and learning she would inevitably die, she committed suicide.
Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or ''broken heart,'' is excuse for cutting off one's life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one.
(Quote: Charlotte Gilman; source: www.famous-quote.com)
Gilman's Explanation For Having Written "The Yellow Wallpaper"
This is the best video presentation I have seen based on "The Yellow Wallpaper"
Charlotte epitimizes the very use of the strong emotional effects of language. Her short story described in part above is as moving now as it was in the 19th Century when she took a risk to be so bold to describe a state of being which was also molded from her personal experience.
Language as we read it or as we write it can have longlasting effects on an audience that is similarly situated, or possesses the ability to be embraced by the relationship of words streaming against a page which affect an absorbing mind.
The influence of language is remarkable. Let us all keep writing.

I felt it was my best pregnancy being pregnant during summer too - felt healthier, clothes easier and put on less weight, easier to wash everything. Such a great time to be pregnant ladies, so happy for you.

Before you see the dolphins, your group will all take part in the E'Hoi Mai Ceremony, a traditional song written by Edith Kanaole, a well known Hawaiian singer and cultural icon.The song's meaning proclaims hope that all things return to their original shape, and prayers from the Heavens. The group sings this song and present flowers for a safe journey through the waters and to meet the beautiful dolphin counterparts.
Most of the dolphins you will encounter in this region are the slightly smaller; Spinner Dolphins. They get this name from the way they jump out of the water and spin in the air.They will allow you to swim close to them if you approach slowly and don't try to touch them. Follow your tour guides to see as much as possible.
After swimming with the dolphins, you will move to a location where lots of tropical fish and sea turtles gather. A lot of colorful fish will come to greet you. You enjoy the fish, and we will take amazing pictures for you. Also enjoy swimming with some of Hawaii's friendliest sea creatures.

Why do you hold the IATEFL Annual Conference in the UK?
Since IATEFL started in 1967 there have been a few IATEFL Annual Conferences held in European countries but normally this event is held in the UK. We have found that the majority of delegates attending from overseas enjoy coming to the UK to experience the UK culture and to practice their English and in many cases have found it easier to secure a visa for the UK over other countries.
The IATEFL Annual Conference is also pretty big with up to 3,000 delegates attending, 20 academic sessions running at any one time, evening events, a large ELT exhibition and a Jobs Market. It takes a lot of organisation and requires our Head Office staff, who are based in the UK, to be in constant contact with the venue and to have a number of site visits and meetings to make all the necessary arrangements. Logistically, this is easier to arrange and therefore to ensure the delegates have the best possible experience, if the event is also in the UK.
We do hold other events during the year around the world and these are generally led by our SIGs. Sometimes these are stand-alone events but they are often in conjunction with local Teacher Associations or organisations such as the British Council. These can be found on the SIG events page.

The functional significance of correlations between action potentials of neurons is still a matter of vivid debate. In particular, it is presently unclear how much synchrony is caused by afferent synchronized events and how much is intrinsic due to the connectivity structure of cortex. The available analytical approaches based on the diffusion approximation do not allow to model spike synchrony, preventing a thorough analysis. Here we theoretically investigate to what extent common synaptic afferents and synchronized inputs each contribute to correlated spiking on a fine temporal scale between pairs of neurons. We employ direct simulation and extend earlier analytical methods based on the diffusion approximation to pulse-coupling, allowing us to introduce precisely timed correlations in the spiking activity of the synaptic afferents. We investigate the transmission of correlated synaptic input currents by pairs of integrate-and-fire model neurons, so that the same input covariance can be realized by common inputs or by spiking synchrony. We identify two distinct regimes: In the limit of low correlation linear perturbation theory accurately determines the correlation transmission coefficient, which is typically smaller than unity, but increases sensitively even for weakly synchronous inputs. In the limit of high input correlation, in the presence of synchrony, a qualitatively new picture arises. As the non-linear neuronal response becomes dominant, the output correlation becomes higher than the total correlation in the input. This transmission coefficient larger unity is a direct consequence of non-linear neural processing in the presence of noise, elucidating how synchrony-coded signals benefit from these generic properties present in cortical networks.
Whether spike timing conveys information in cortical networks or whether the firing rate alone is sufficient is a matter of controversial debate, touching the fundamental question of how the brain processes, stores, and conveys information. If the firing rate alone is the decisive signal used in the brain, correlations between action potentials are just an epiphenomenon of cortical connectivity, where pairs of neurons share a considerable fraction of common afferents. Due to membrane leakage, small synaptic amplitudes and the non-linear threshold, nerve cells exhibit lossy transmission of correlation originating from shared synaptic inputs. However, the membrane potential of cortical neurons often displays non-Gaussian fluctuations, caused by synchronized synaptic inputs. Moreover, synchronously active neurons have been found to reflect behavior in primates. In this work we therefore contrast the transmission of correlation due to shared afferents and due to synchronously arriving synaptic impulses for leaky neuron models. We not only find that neurons are highly sensitive to synchronous afferents, but that they can suppress noise on signals transmitted by synchrony, a computational advantage over rate signals.
Simultaneously recording the activity of multiple neurons provides a unique tool to observe the activity in the brain. The immediately arising question of the meaning of the observed correlated activity between different cells
In the other view, on the contrary, theoretical considerations
The role of correlations entails the question whether cortical neurons operate as integrators or as coincidence detectors
The pivotal role of correlations distinguishing the two opposing views and the appearance of synchrony at task-specific times
One particular measure for assessing the transmission of correlation by a pair of neurons is the transmission coefficient, i.e. the ratio of output to input correlation. When studying spiking neuron models, the synaptic input is typically modeled as Gaussian white noise, e.g. by applying the diffusion approximation to the leaky integrate-and-fire model
Understanding the influence of synchrony among the inputs on the correlation transmission requires to extend the above mentioned methods, as Gaussian fluctuating input does not allow to represent individual synaptic events, not to mention synchrony. Therefore, in this work we introduce an input model that extends the commonly investigated Gaussian white noise model. We employ the multiple interaction process (MIP)
In section
The neuronal dynamics considered in this work follows the leaky integrate-and-fire model, whose membrane potential
We investigate the correlation transmission of a pair of neurons considering the following input scenario. Each neuron receives input from
Let us now consider the case of
The output firing rates and output spike synchrony shown in
These two observations – the increase of input correlation and output firing rate induced by input synchrony – foil our objective to understand the sole impact of synchronous input events on the correlation transmission of neurons. In the following we will therefore first provide a quantitative description of the effect of finite sized presynaptic events on the membrane potential dynamics and subsequently describe a way to isolate and control this effect.
The synchronous arrival of
In order to isolate and control the effect of the synchrony parameter
In scenario 1 (
We evaluate this approach by simulating the free membrane potential of a pair of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons driven by correlated input. For different values of
In order to study the transmission of correlation by a pair of neurons, we need to ensure that the single neuron's working point does not change with the correlation structure of the input. The diffusion approximation (3) suggests, that the decisive properties of the marginal input statistics are characterized by the first (
In studies which investigate the effect of common input on the correlation transmission of neurons, the input correlation is identical to the common input fraction
For correlated inputs caused by common inputs alone (no synchrony,
In the limit of low input correlation
For Gaussian white noise input and in the limit of low input correlation, the correlation transmission is well understood
Before deriving an expression for the correlation transmission by a pair of neurons, we first need the firing rate deflection of a neuron
In order to understand how the neurons are able to achieve a correlation coefficient larger than one, we need to take a closer look at the neural dynamics in the high correlation regime. We refer to the strong pulses caused by synchronous firing of numerous afferents as MIP events.
Let us now recapitulate these last thoughts in terms of a pair of neurons: In the regime of synchronized high input correlation (e.g.
We would like to obtain a qualitative assessment of the correlation transmission in the high correlation input regime. Since the probability of output spikes caused by the disjoint sources is vanishing, the firing due to MIP events inherits the Poisson statistics of the mother process. Consequently, the auto-covariance function of each neurons' output spike train is a
So far, we have considered both neurons operating at a fixed working point, defined by the mean and variance (4). Due to the non-linearity of the neurons we expect the effect of synchronous input events on their firing to depend on the choice of this working point. We therefore performed simulations and computed (2) using four different values for the mean membrane potential
A further approximation of (15) and (16) confirms the intuitive expectation that the mean size of a synchronous event compared to the distance of the membrane potential to the threshold plays an important role for the output synchrony: if synchrony is sufficiently high, say
Measuring the integral of the output correlation over a window of
A qualitatively new behavior is observed in the intermediate range of input correlation
So far, for
Panels show simulation results using
In this work we investigate the correlation transmission by a neuron pair, using two different types of input spike correlations. One is caused solely by shared input – typically modeled as Gaussian white noise in previous studies
To model correlated spiking activity among the excitatory afferents in the input to a pair of neurons we employ the Multiple Interaction Process (MIP)
Given a fixed input correlation, the correlation transmission increases with
Hitherto existing studies argue that neurons either loose correlation when they are in the fluctuation driven regime or at most are able to preserve the input correlation in the mean driven regime
We presented a quantitative description of the increased correlation transmission by synchronous input events for the leaky integrate-and-fire model. Our analytical results explain earlier observations from a simulation study modeling synchrony by co-activation of a fixed fraction of the excitatory afferents
As for our spiking model,
The situation illustrated in
Several aspects of this study need to be taken into account when relating the results to other studies and to biological systems. The multiple interaction process as a model for correlated neural activity might seem unrealistic at first sight. However, a similar correlation structure can easily be obtained from the activity of a population of
The correlation transmission coefficient can only exceed unity if the firing of the neurons is predominantly driven by the synchronously arriving volleys and disjoint input does not contribute to firing. The threshold then acts as a noise gate, small fluctuations caused by disjoint input do not penetrate to the output side. In the mean driven regime, i.e. when
The boost of output correlation by synchronous synaptic impulses relies on fast positive transients of the membrane potential and strong departures from the stationary state: An incoming packet of synaptic impulses brings the membrane potential over the threshold within short time. Qualitatively, we therefore expect similar results for short, but non-zero rise times of the synaptic currents. For long synaptic time constants compared to the neuronal dynamics, however, the instantaneous firing intensity follows the modulation of the synaptic current adiabatically
The choice of the correlation measure is of importance when analyzing spike correlations. It has been pointed out recently that the time scale
It has been proposed that the coordinated firing of cell assemblies provides a means for the binding of coherent stimulus features
Though in the limit of weak input correlation the correlation in the output is bounded by that in the input, in agreement with previous reports
We here derive an approximation for the integral of the impulse response of the firing rate with respect to a perturbing impulse in the input. A similar derivation has been presented in

His first books were for children, and later he wrote film and televisino scripts. He was best known in Russia, however, for his irreverent samizdat song lyrics, and his reptuation in the West rests on such equally impudent novels as K"angaroo" (1986) and"The Hand" (1989). Aleshkovsky emigrated from the U.S.S.R. in 1979 and lives with his family in Connecticut. Jane Ann Miller is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Russian at Dartmouth College.
