  Abstract. A natural stimulus for many cortical neurons is a sum of a large number of unitary excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) slightly dispersed in time. We use numerical solution of the Hodgkin and Huxley (H-H) equations combined with the Monte Carlo algorithm to find how does the triggering ability of the compound stimulus depend on the relative timing of the EPSPs it comprises. The dependences found allows us to formulate a threshold-type principle with respect to temporal coherence of the unitary signals within the compound stimulus. The binding problem, the role of inhibition in the context of binding, a kind of a short term memory are discussed at the level of single neuron.
