"Spiking and bursting patterns of neurons are characterized by a high degree of variability.
A single neuron can demonstrate endogenously various bursting patterns, changing in response to external disturbances
due to synapses, or to intrinsic factors such as channel noise.
We argue that in a model of the leech heart interneuron existing variations of bursting patterns are
significantly enhanced by a small noise.
In the absence of noise this model shows periodic bursting with fixed
numbers of interspikes for most parameter values. ..."
