Predictions of postsynaptic firing rates as a function of the regularity of the renewal process governing presynaptic firing. Presynaptic interspike intervals are independently identically gamma distributed with shape parameter α (increasing α gives more regular firing) and mean 1/R α . Simulated rates are shown as circles with error bars. Analytic predictions are shown as solid lines based on exact forms for the postsynaptic voltage mean and variance.
