Semi-passivity and synchronization of diffusively coupled neuronal oscillators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss synchronization in networks of neuronal oscillators which are interconnected via diffusive coupling, i.e. linearly coupled via gap junctions. In particular, we present sufficient conditions for synchronization in these networks using the theory of semi-passive and passive systems. We show that the conductance-based neuronal models of Hodgkin-Huxley, Morris-Lecar, and the popular reduced models of FitzHugh-Nagumo and Hindmarsh-Rose all satisfy a semi-passivity property, i.e. that is the state trajectories of such a model remain oscillatory but bounded provided that the supplied (electrical) energy is bounded. As a result, for a wide range of coupling configurations, networks of these oscillators are guaranteed to possess ultimately bounded solutions. Moreover, we demonstrate that when the coupling is strong enough the oscillators become synchronized. Our theoretical conclusions are confirmed by computer simulations with coupled Hindmarsh-Rose and Morris-Lecar oscillators. Finally we discuss possible “instabilities” in networks of oscillators induced by the diffusive coupling.

متن کاملSynchronization of Diffusively Coupled Electronic Hindmarsh-rose Oscillators
In this paper we study the synchronization of diffusively coupled Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) electronic oscillators. These electronic oscillators are analog electrical circuits which integrate the differential equations of the HR model. An experimental setup consisting of four chaotic HR oscillators, is used to evaluate the existence and stability of partially or fully synchronized states.
متن کاملCluster Synchronization in Three-Dimensional Lattices of Diffusively Coupled oscillators
Cluster synchronization modes of continuous time oscillators that are diffusively coupled in a three-dimensional (3-D) lattice are studied in the paper via the corresponding linear invariant manifolds. Depending in an essential way on the number of oscillators composing the lattice in three volume directions, the set of possible regimes of spatiotemporal synchronization is examined. Sufficient ...
متن کاملExperimental evidence of anomalous phase synchronization in two diffusively coupled Chua oscillators.
We study the transition to phase synchronization in two diffusively coupled, nonidentical Chua oscillators. In the experiments, depending on the used parameterization, we observe several distinct routes to phase synchronization, including states of either in-phase, out-of-phase, or antiphase synchronization, which may be intersected by an intermediate desynchronization regime with large fluctua...
متن کاملScaling and synchronization in a ring of diffusively coupled nonlinear oscillators.
Chaos synchronization in a ring of diffusively coupled nonlinear oscillators driven by an external identical oscillator is studied. Based on numerical simulations we show that by introducing additional couplings at (mN(c)+1)-th oscillators in the ring, where m is an integer and N(c) is the maximum number of synchronized oscillators in the ring with a single coupling, the maximum number of oscil...
