Array-enhanced coherence resonance and forced dynamics in coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons with noise

Nonlinear dynamics of coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons subject to independent noise is analyzed. A kind of self-sustained global oscillation with almost synchronous firing is generated by array-enhanced coherence resonance. Further, forced dynamics of the self-sustained global oscillation stimulated...

Summary:Nonlinear dynamics of coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons subject to independent noise is analyzed. A kind of self-sustained global oscillation with almost synchronous firing is generated by array-enhanced coherence resonance. Further, forced dynamics of the self-sustained global oscillation stimulated by sinusoidal input is analyzed and classified as synchronized, quasiperiodic, and chaotic responses just like the forced oscillations in nerve membranes observed by in vitro experiments with squid giant axons. Possible physiological importance of such forced oscillations is also discussed.
