A simple model for phase locking of biological oscillators.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A mathematical model is presented for phase locking of a biological oscillator to a sinusoidal stimulus. Analytical, numerical and topological considerations are used to discuss the patterns of phase locking as a function of amplitude of the sinusoidal stimulus and the relative frequencies of the osillator and the sinusoidal stimulus. The sorts of experimental data which are needed to make comparisons between theory and experiment are discussed.

The Transient Behavior of LC and Ring Oscillators under External Frequency Injection
In this work, time domain analysis is used to solve Adler’s equation in order to obtain the required time, for an oscillator under external injection, reaching the steady-state condition. Mathematical approach has been applied to fully describe the transient of frequency acquisition in injection-locked LC and Ring oscillators considering their time-varying nature. Then, the analysis is verifie...

A model of neuronal behaviour capable of accounting for the oscill& tory, plateau and rebound properties of biological neurons is derived, discussed and analysed. The model is based on a piecewise linear form of the FitzHugh-Nagumo equations, but reduces t.o a set of maps very similar to those of the Hopfield model. In particular, the binary descript.ion of individual neurons and the well studi...
متن کاملQuantum synchronization of quantum van der Pol oscillators with trapped ions.
The van der Pol oscillator is the prototypical self-sustained oscillator and has been used to model nonlinear behavior in biological and other classical processes. We investigate how quantum fluctuations affect phase locking of one or many van der Pol oscillators. We find that phase locking is much more robust in the quantum model than in the equivalent classical model. Trapped-ion experiments ...
متن کاملSymmetry and phase-locking in a ring of pulse-coupled oscillators with distributed delays
Phase-locking in a ring of pulse-coupled integrate-and-fire oscillators with distributed delays is analysed using group theory. The period of oscillation of a solution and those related by symmetry is determined self-consistently. Numerical continuation of maximally symmetric solutions in characteristic system length and timescales yields bifurcation diagrams with spontaneous symmetry breaking....
