Noise Enhances Action Potential Generation in Mouse Sensory Neurons via Stochastic Resonance.

Noise can enhance perception of tactile and proprioceptive stimuli by stochastic resonance processes. However, the mechanisms underlying this general phenomenon remain to be characterized. Here we studied how externally applied noise influences action potential firing in mouse primary sensory neuron...
