![The study demonstrates how the dynamics of neuronal firing rates-specifically, the mean firing rate and membrane potential-shift across regimes determined by the correlation of noise, with theoretical predictions aligning with simulations of quadratic integrate-and-fire neurons, and revealing a dependence on both the correlation coefficient and noise intensity as described by the deterministic component of [latex]Eq.
