Abstract:
In this paper, we investigate the dynamic behavior of a system of two coupled Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neurons, based on bifurcation analysis of its fast subsystem. The individual HR neuron has chaotic behavior, but they can become regularized when coupled through synaptic coupling or joint electrical-synaptic coupling. Through numerical methods we first investigate the bifurcation structure of its fast subsystem. We show that the emerging of periodic patterns of neurons is related to topological changes of its underlying bifurcations. The Lyaponov exponent calculations further reveal the pathway from chaotic bursting behavior to regular bursting of HR neurons. Finally, we include both electrical and synaptic coupling in the system, and numerically calculate the time dynamics. Even though electrical couplings (or gap junctions) usually does not regularize chaotic trajectories, but joint coupling has been more effective than synaptic coupling alone in producing stable rhythms. The main contribution of this paper is that we provide a mathematical description for transitions of neuron dynamics from chaotic trajectories to regular bursting when synaptic and electrical-synaptic coupling strengthens, using bifurcation analysis.
