  bibo_abstract:
  - 'Transmission of signals within the brain is essential for cognitive function,
    but it is not clear how neural circuits support reliable and accurate signal propagation
    over a sufficiently large dynamic range. Two modes of propagation have been studied:
    synfire chains, in which synchronous activity travels through feedforward layers
    of a neuronal network, and the propagation of fluctuations in firing rate across
    these layers. In both cases, a sufficient amount of noise, which was added to
    previous models from an external source, had to be included to support stable
    propagation. Sparse, randomly connected networks of spiking model neurons can
    generate chaotic patterns of activity. We investigate whether this activity, which
    is a more realistic noise source, is sufficient to allow for signal transmission.
    We find that, for rate-coded signals but not for synfire chains, such networks
    support robust and accurate signal reproduction through up to six layers if appropriate
    adjustments are made in synaptic strengths. We investigate the factors affecting
    transmission and show that multiple signals can propagate simultaneously along
    different pathways. Using this feature, we show how different types of logic gates
    can arise within the architecture of the random network through the strengthening
    of specific synapses.@eng'
