Bistability in the firing rate is a prominent feature in different types of neurons as well as in neural networks. We show that for a constant input below a critical value, such bistability can lead to a giant spike-count diffusion. We study the transmission of a periodic signal and demonstrate that close to the critical bias current, the signal-to-noise ratio suffers a sharp increase, an effect that can be traced back to the giant diffusion and large Fano factor.
