Fast reciprocal inhibition can synchronize bursting neurons.

چکیده
We study a pair of endogenously bursting neurons with fast nondelayed inhibitory connections. We show that fast reciprocal inhibition, known to facilitate antiphase bursting, can stably synchronize bursting neurons. This contrasts with the classical view that reciprocal inhibition has to be slow or time delayed to establish in-phase synchronization. Through stability analysis, we reveal the emergent mechanism of in-phase synchronization and discuss its implications for various types of bursting neurons and networks.

Spikes matter for phase-locked bursting in inhibitory neurons.
We show that inhibitory networks composed of two endogenously bursting neurons can robustly display several coexistent phase-locked states in addition to stable antiphase and in-phase bursting. This work complements and enhances our recent result [Jalil, Belykh, and Shilnikov, Phys. Rev. E 81, 045201(R) (2010)] that fast reciprocal inhibition can synchronize bursting neurons due to spike intera...
متن کاملStability Analysis of Phase-Locked Bursting in Inhibitory Neuron Networks
Networks of neurons, which form central pattern generators (CPGs), are important for controlling animal behaviors. Of special interest are configurations or CPG motifs composed of reciprocally inhibited neurons, such as half-center oscillators (HCOs). Bursting rhythms of HCOs are shown to include stable synchrony or in-phase bursting, which is a phase-locked state that has zero phase difference...
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 کاملSynchronization in Neuronal Networks with Electrical and Chemical Coupling
Synchronized cortical activities in the central nervous systems of mammals are crucial for sensory perception, coordination, and locomotory function. The neuronal mechanisms that generate synchronous synaptic inputs in the neocortex are far from being fully understood. This thesis contributes toward an understanding of the emergence of synchronization in networks of bursting neurons as a highly...
متن کاملInhibitory synchronization of bursting in biological neurons: dependence on synaptic time constant.
Using the dynamic clamp technique, we investigated the effects of varying the time constant of mutual synaptic inhibition on the synchronization of bursting biological neurons. For this purpose, we constructed artificial half-center circuits by inserting simulated reciprocal inhibitory synapses between identified neurons of the pyloric circuit in the lobster stomatogastric ganglion. With natura...
