Abstract
Based on actual neuronal firing activities, bursting in the Chay neuronal model is considered, in which V K, reversal potentials for K+, V C, reversal potentials for Ca2+, time kinetic constant λ n and an additional depolarized current I are considered as dynamical parameters. According to the number of the Hopf bifurcation points on the upper branch of the bifurcation curve of fast subsystem, which is associated with the stable limit cycle corresponding to spiking states, different types of bursting and their respective dynamical behavior are surveyed by means of fast-slow dynamical bifurcation analysis.
