Loss of phase-locking in non-weakly coupled inhib. networks of type-I neurons (Oh and Matveev 2009)
Accession: 118799
... Here we examine the loss of synchrony caused by an increase in inhibitory coupling in networks of type-I Morris–Lecar model oscillators, which is characterized by a period-doubling cascade and leads to mode-locked states with alternation in the firing order of the two cells, as reported recently by Maran and Canavier (J Comput Nerosci, 2008) for a network of Wang-Buzsáki model neurons. Although alternating-order firing has been previously reported as a near-synchronous state, we show that the stable phase difference between the spikes of the two Morris–Lecar cells can constitute as much as 70% of the unperturbed oscillation period. Further, we examine the generality of this phenomenon for a class of type-I oscillators that are close to their excitation thresholds, and provide an intuitive geometric description of such “leap-frog” dynamics. ..."

Please place all files in the same directory before running the main simulation script LeapFrogMovie.m



 LeapFrogMovie.m This m-script illustrates the geometry of the alternating-order (leap-frog / leader switching) spiking shown in Figure 1. By changing the parameter variable Params, any of the activity states in Figure 1 can be reproduced

 MLode.m This ODE m-file implements the model equations (Eqs. 1-3).

 Vnullcline.m Calculates the V-nullcline; used by the main LeapFrogMovie script above.
