Neural populations are composed of (A) A rate-to-potential operator describing the postsynaptic potential generated by the firing rates of the presynaptic neurons; and (B) a potential-to-rate operator, typically expressed as a nonlinear function, to relate the membrane potential of the neurons to their spiking activity.
