Control of bursting synchronization in networks of Hodgkin-Huxley-type neurons with chemical synapses.

چکیده
Thermally sensitive neurons present bursting activity for certain temperature ranges, characterized by fast repetitive spiking of action potential followed by a short quiescent period. Synchronization of bursting activity is possible in networks of coupled neurons, and it is sometimes an undesirable feature. Control procedures can suppress totally or partially this collective behavior, with potential applications in deep-brain stimulation techniques. We investigate the control of bursting synchronization in small-world networks of Hodgkin-Huxley-type thermally sensitive neurons with chemical synapses through two different strategies. One is the application of an external time-periodic electrical signal and another consists of a time-delayed feedback signal. We consider the effectiveness of both strategies in terms of protocols of applications suitable to be applied by pacemakers.

Cluster synchronization in an ensemble of neurons interacting through chemical synapses.
In networks of periodically firing spiking neurons that are interconnected with chemical synapses, we analyze a cluster state, where an ensemble of neurons are subdivided into a few clusters, in each of which neurons exhibit perfect synchronization. To clarify stability of the cluster state, we decompose linear stability of the solution into two types of stabilities, stability of a mean state a...
متن کاملSynchrony of Fast-Spiking Interneurons Interconnected by GABAergic and Electrical Synapses
Fast-spiking (FS) interneurons have specific types (Kv3.1/3.2 type) of the delayed potassium channel, which differ from the conventional Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) type potassium channel (Kv1.3 type) in several aspects. In this study, we show dramatic effects of the Kv3.1/3.2 potassium channel on the synchronization of the FS interneurons. We show analytically that two identical electrically coupled F...
متن کاملBurst-Duration Mechanism of In-phase Bursting in Inhibitory Networks
We study the emergence of in-phase and anti-phase synchronized rhythms in bursting networks of Hodgkin–Huxley–type neurons connected by inhibitory synapses. We show that when the state of the individual neuron composing the network is close to the transition from bursting into tonic spiking, the appearance of the network’s synchronous rhythms becomes sensitive to small changes in parameters and...
متن کاملPolyrhythmic synchronization in bursting networking motifs.
We study the emergence of polyrhythmic dynamics of motifs which are the building block for small inhibitory-excitatory networks, such as central pattern generators controlling various locomotive behaviors of animals. We discover that the pacemaker determining the specific rhythm of such a network composed of realistic Hodgkin-Huxley-type neurons is identified through the order parameter, which ...
متن کاملSynchronization of bursting neurons with delayed chemical synapses.
The synchronization of bursting Hindmarsh-Rose neurons coupled by a time-delayed fast threshold modulation synapse was studied. It is shown that there is a domain of the coupling parameter and nonzero time-lag values such that the bursting neurons are exactly synchronized. Furthermore, and contrary to the case of electrical synapses, such synchronous bursting is stochastically stable.
