A continuous time stochastic model for biological neural nets

Abstract

We propose a new stochastic model for biological neural nets which is a continuous time version of the model proposed by Galves and Löcherbach in [A. Galves and E. Löcherbach, "Infinite systems of interacting chains with memory of variable length - a stochastic model for biological neural nets", J. Stat. Phys. 151 (2013), no. 5, 896-921]. We also show how to computationally simulate such model for easy neuron potential decays and probability functions and characterize when the model has a finite time of death almost surely.
