Interacting Slow and Fast Dynamics in Precise Spiking-Bursting Neurons

چکیده
We have explored the role of the interaction of slow and fast intracellular dynamics in generating precise spiking-bursting activity in a model of the heartbeat central pattern generator of the leech. In particular we study the effect of calcium-dependent currents on the neural signatures generated in the circuit. These neural signatures are cell-specific interspike intervals in the spiking-bursting activity of each neuron. Our results show that the slow dynamics of intracelullar calcium concentration can regulate the precision and shape of the neural signatures.

Modeling of spiking-bursting neural behavior using two-dimensional map.
A simple model that replicates the dynamics of spiking and spiking-bursting activity of real biological neurons is proposed. The model is a two-dimensional map that contains one fast and one slow variable. The mechanisms behind generation of spikes, bursts of spikes, and restructuring of the map behavior are explained using phase portrait analysis. The dynamics of two coupled maps that model th...
متن کاملChaos in 2d Slow-fast Maps for Spiking-bursting Neural Activity
Origin of chaos in a simple slow-fast 2D map replicating the spiking and spiking-bursting activity of real biological neurons is studied. The map contains one fast and one slow variable. We study the bifurcation scenarios which reveal the dynamical mechanisms that lead to chaos through canards in alternation of silence and spiking phases.

By varying the noise intensity, we investigate the population synchronization in an inhibitory population of bursting Hindmarsh-Rose neurons. Unlike spiking neurons, bursting neurons show firing patterns with two timescales: a fast spiking timescale and a slow bursting timescale that modulates the spiking activity. Through separation of the fast and slow timescales, we characterize the burst an...

Origin of chaos in a simple two-dimensional map model replicating the spiking and spikingbursting activity of real biological neurons is studied. The map contains one fast and one slow variable. Individual dynamics of fast subsystem of the map is characterized by two types of possible attractors: stable fixed point (replicating silence) and superstable limit cycle (replicating spikes). Coupling...
متن کاملElectrochemical bursting oscillations on a high-dimensional slow subsystem.
Experiments are carried out with a chemical burster, the electrodissolution of iron in sulfuric acid solution. The system exhibits bursting oscillations in which fast periodic spiking is superimposed on chaotic, slow oscillations. Regularization of the slow dynamics, i.e., transition from chaotic to periodic bursting oscillations, is investigated through changes in the experimental parameters (...
