摘要
We present a novel set of quantitative measures for “likeness” (error function) designed to alleviate the time-consuming and subjective nature of manually comparing biological recordings from electrophysiological experiments with the outcomes of their mathematical models. Our innovative “blended” system approach offers an objective, high-throughput, and computationally efficient method for comparing biological and mathematical models. This approach involves using voltage recordings of biological neurons to drive and train mathematical models, facilitating the derivation of the error function for further parameter optimization. Our calibration process incorporates measurements such as action potential (AP) frequency, voltage moving average, voltage envelopes, and the probability of post-synaptic channels. To assess the effectiveness of our method, we utilized the sea slug Melibe leonina swim central pattern generator (CPG) as our model circuit and conducted electrophysiological experiments with TTX to isolate CPG interneurons. During the comparison of biological recordings and mathematically simulated neurons, we performed a grid search of inhibitory and excitatory synapse conductance. Our findings indicate that a weighted sum of simple functions is essential for comprehensively capturing a neuron’s rhythmic activity. Overall, our study suggests that our blended system approach holds promise for enabling objective and high-throughput comparisons between biological and mathematical models, offering significant potential for advancing research in neural circuitry and related fields.
