Cells respond to external signals, such as hormonal stimuli, by generating
repetitive spikes in the intracellular free-calcium concentration
. These
spikes, which can be modulated in
their frequency and amplitude, regulate diverse cellular processes.
Experimentally,
can be assessed continuously in contrast
to cellular responses represented by the activation of proteins.
We propose a mathematical model that allows for the on-line decoding of
spike trains into cellular responses represented by the
activation of proteins.
