Abstract
Though response of neurons is mainly decided by synaptic events, the l ength of a time window for the neuronal response has still not been cl arified. In this paper, we analyse the time window within which a neur on processes synaptic events, on the basis of the Hodgkin-Huxley equat ions. Our simulation show's that an active membrane property makes neu rons' behavior complex, and that a few milliseconds is plausible as th e time window. A neuron seems to detect coincidence synaptic events in such a time window.
