Noise and Periodic Modulations in Neural Excitable Media

Statistical Mechanics 2016-08-15 v1 q-bio

Abstract

We have analyzed the interplay between noise and periodic modulations in a mean field model of a neural excitable medium. To this purpose, we have considered two types of modulations; namely, variations of the resistance and oscillations of the threshold. In both cases, stochastic resonance is present, irrespective of if the system is monostable or bistable.
