The a voltage-sensitive channels are open or closed depending on the value taken m by an external potential that has two contributions: a deterministic periodic - d and a stochastic one. Here we assume that the noise source is colored and n non Gaussian, with a q-dependent probability distribution (where q is a pa- o c rameter indicating the departure from Gaussianity). We analyze the behavior [ of the oscillation amplitude as a function of both q and the noise correlation 1 time. The main result is that in addition to the resonant-like maximum as a v 4 function of the noise intensity, there is a new resonant maximum as a function 5 of the parameter q . 4 9 0 1 The growing interest in stochastic resonance (SR) has motiva
