abstract = {A complex interplay of single-neuron properties and the
recurrent network structure shapes the activity of cortical
neurons. The single-neuron activity statistics differ in
general from the respective population statistics, including
spectra and, correspondingly, autocorrelation times. We
develop a theory for self-consistent second-order
single-neuron statistics in block-structured sparse random
networks of spiking neurons. In particular, the theory
predicts the neuron-level autocorrelation times, also known
as intrinsic timescales, of the neuronal activity. The
theory is based on an extension of dynamic mean-field theory
from rate networks to spiking networks, which is validated
via simulations. It accounts for both static variability,
e.g., due to a distributed number of incoming synapses per
neuron, and temporal fluctuations of the input. We apply the
theory to balanced random networks of generalized linear
model neurons, balanced random networks of leaky
integrate-and-fire neurons, and a biologically constrained
network of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons. For the
generalized linear model network with an error function
nonlinearity, a novel analytical solution of the colored
noise problem allows us to obtain self-consistent firing
rate distributions, single-neuron power spectra, and
intrinsic timescales. For the leaky integrate-and-fire
networks, we derive an approximate analytical solution of
the colored noise problem, based on the Stratonovich
approximation of the Wiener-Rice series and a novel
analytical solution for the free upcrossing statistics.
Again closing the system self-consistently, in the
fluctuation-driven regime, this approximation yields
reliable estimates of the mean firing rate and its variance
across neurons, the interspike-interval distribution, the
single-neuron power spectra, and intrinsic timescales. With
the help of our theory, we find parameter regimes where the
intrinsic timescale significantly exceeds the membrane time
constant, which indicates the influence of the recurrent
dynamics. Although the resulting intrinsic timescales are on
the same order for generalized linear model neurons and
leaky integrate-and-fire neurons, the two systems differ
fundamentally: for the former, the longer intrinsic
timescale arises from an increased firing probability after
a spike; for the latter, it is a consequence of a prolonged
effective refractory period with a decreased firing
probability. Furthermore, the intrinsic timescale attains a
maximum at a critical synaptic strength for generalized
linear model networks, in contrast to the minimum found for
leaky integrate-and-fire networks.},
