摘要: In a wide range of non-linear dynamical systems, noise may enhance the detection weak deterministic input signals. Here, we demonstrate this phenomenon for transmembrane signaling in hormonal model system intracellular Ca(2+) oscillations. Adding Gaussian to subthreshold extracellular pulsatile stimulus increased sensitivity dose-response relation oscillations compared same signal added as constant mean level. These findings have important physiological consequences operation and other transduction systems close threshold
