To investigate the mechanisms of different response patterns of the cochlear nucleus neurons based on a digital model.
Based on the platform of Matlab7.0 and the integrate-and-fire model, we constructed the temporal coding model.
The model well simulated the response types of the primary-like, chopper, onset and buildup neurons by changing the settings of some parameters related to the properties of the neurons.
The properties of the neurons dictate the response patterns of the cochlear nucleus neurons. The simulation results are consistent with the literature. Understanding of the response properties of the cochlear nucleus neurons can provide assistance in the study of the auditory system.
