Forced Synchronization in Morris-lecar Neurons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate forced synchronization between electrically coupled Morris–Lecar neurons with class I and class II excitability through numerical bifurcation analysis. We find that class II neurons have wider parameter regions of forced synchronization. However, the bifurcation structure and patterns of spikes for class II are complicated; there exist period-doubling bifurcations, interesting two-periodic oscillations and irregular bursting spikes with high values of the coefficient of variation of the interspike interval.

Synchronization in coupled Morris-Lecar neurons with class I and class II excitability
In recent neuroscience, many researchers have claimed that synchronization of coupled neurons plays a very important role to code information in the brain. Neurons are classified into two types, class I and class II, by the difference of the onsets of the firing. These two types are confirmed by the physiologic experiments and it is very important to know how these differences affect synchroniz...
متن کاملNonlinear Observer Design and Synchronization Analysis for Classical Models of Neural Oscillators
This work explores four nonlinear classical models of neural oscillators, the HodgkinHuxley model, the Fitzhugh-Nagumo model, the Morris-Lecar model, and the Hindmarsh-Rose model. Nonlinear contraction theory is used to develop observers and perform synchronization analysis on these systems. Neural oscillation and signaling models are based on the biological function of the neuron, with behavio...
متن کاملGraded persisting activity of heterogeneous neuron ensembles subject to white noises
Effects of distractions such as noises and heterogeneity in model parameters have been studied on the firing activity of ensemble neurons, each of which is described by the extended Morris-Lecar model showing the graded persisting firings with the aid of an included Ca 2+-dependent cation current. It has been shown that the graded persisting activity in an ensemble becomes more robust against d...

متن کاملBifurcations in a synaptically coupled Morris-Lecar neuron model
We study bifurcations arising in a system of two synaptically interconnected neurons where the individual neurons are represented by the Morris-Lecar model. The synaptic interconnection strength and externally applied input dc current are treated as bifurcation parameters and the critical values that result in neural excitability are identified. It is seen that the synaptic coupling strength, (...
