Stability diagrams for bursting neurons modeled by three-variable maps
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a simple map as a minimal model of excitable cells. The map has two fast variables which mimic the behavior of class I neurons, undergoing a sub-critical Hopf bifurcation. Adding a third slow variable allows the system to present bursts and other interesting biological behaviors. Bifurcation lines which locate the excitability region are obtained for different planes in parameter space.

Minimal Models of Bursting Neurons: How Multiple Currents, Conductances, and Timescales Affect Bifurcation Diagrams
After reviewing the Hodgkin–Huxley ionic current formulation, we introduce a three-variable generic model of a single-compartment neuron comprising a two-dimensional fast subsystem and a very slow recovery variable. We study the effects of fast and slow currents on the existence and stability of equilibria and periodic orbits for the fast subsystem, presenting a classification of currents and d...
متن کاملModeling 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 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 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.
متن کاملLocally Contractive Dynamics in Generalized Integrate-and-Fire Neurons
Integrate-and-fire models of biological neurons combine differential equations with discrete spike events. In the simplest case, the reset of the neuronal voltage to its resting value is the only spike event. The response of such a model to constant input injection is limited to tonic spiking. We here study a generalized model in which two simple spike-induced currents are added. We show that t...
