"Chaotic regimes in a mathematical model of pacemaker activity in the bursting neurons of a snail Helix pomatia, have been investigated.
The model includes a slow-wave generating mechanism, a spike-generating mechanism, an inward Ca current, intracellular Ca ions, [Ca2+]in, their fast buffering and uptake by intracellular Ca stores, and a [Ca2+]in-inhibited Ca current.
Chemosensitive voltage-activated conductance, gB*, responsible for termination of the spike burst, and chemosensitive sodium conductance, gNa*, responsible for the depolarization phase of the slow-wave, were used as control parameters.
...
Time courses of the membrane potential and [Ca2+]in were employed to analyse different regimes in the model.
