Generation of slow phase-locked oscillation and variability of the interspike intervals in globally coupled neuronal oscillators by Ryotaro Tsuneki, Shinji Doi, Junko Inoue

“…To elucidate how a biological rhythm is regulated,the extended (three-dimensional) Bonhoeffer-van der Pol or FitzHugh-Nagumo equations are employed toinvestigate the dynamics of a population of neuronal oscillators globally coupled through a common buffer (mean field).Interesting phenomena, such as extraordinarily slow phase-locked oscillations (compared to the natural period of each neuronal oscillator)and the death of all oscillations, are observed.We demonstrate that the slow synchronization is due mainly to the existence of ``fast&quot; oscillators.Additionally, we examine the effect of noise on the synchronization and variability of the interspike intervals.Peculiar phenomena, such as noise-induced acceleration and deceleration, are observed.The results herein suggest that very small noise may significantly influence a biological rhythm.…”
