| Abstract | Sharks detect their prey using an extremely sensitive electrosensory system that is capable of distinguishing weak external stimuli from a relatively strong background noise generated by the animal itself. Experiments indicate that part of the shark’s hindbrain, the dorsal octavolateralis nucleus (DON), is responsible for extracting the external stimulus using an adaptive filter mechanism to suppress signals correlated with the shark’s breathing motion. The DON’s principal neuron integrates input from afferents as well as many thousands of parallel fibres transmitting, inter alia, breathing-correlated motor command signals. There are a number of models in the literature, studying how this adaptive filtering mechanisms occurs, but most of them are based on a spike-train model approach.This paper presents a biophysically based computational simulation which demonstrates a mechanism for adaptive noise filtering in the DON. A spatial model of the neuron uses the Hodgkin–Huxley equations to simulate the propagation of action potentials along the dendrites. Synaptic inputs are modelled by applied currents at various positions along the dendrites, whose input conductances are varied according to a simple learning rule.Simulation results show that the model is able to demonstrate adaptive filtering in agreement with previous experimental and modelling studies. Furthermore, the spatial nature of the model does not greatly affect its learning properties, and in its present form is effectively equivalent to an isopotential model which does not incorporate a spatial element. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
