Abstract

Weak coupling connections are ubiquitous in neuronal system. For neurons with both spiking and bursting dynamics, bursting synchronization, which has been found to be related with a number of abnormal brain rhythms, is easier to occur at smaller synaptic strengths. In this paper, we examine the effect of the synaptic types on the synchronization properties of the weakly coupled bursting neuronal oscillators by means of phase-model reduction. The bifurcation analysis clarifies how the synaptic types affect the existence and stability of in-phase, anti-phase and out of phase synchronization states. The results show that electrical coupling and inhibitory coupling neurons have stable anti-phase synchronous solutions, while excitatory coupling neurons exhibit out of phase synchronous behaviors.
