Neuronal excitability is the phenomena that describes action potential generation due to a stimulus input. Commonly, neuronal excitability is divided into two classes: Type I and Type II, both having different properties that affect…

Being an example for a relaxation oscillator, the FitzHugh-Nagumo model has been widely employed for describing the generation of action potentials. In this paper, we begin with a biological interpretation of what the subsequent…

We study the phenomenological model of ensemble of two FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron-like elements with symmetric excitatory couplings. The main advantage of proposed model is the new approach to model of coupling which is implemented by smooth…

The FitzHugh-Nagumo equation, originally conceived in neuroscience during the 1960s, became a key model providing a simplified view of excitable neuron cell behavior. Its applicability, however, extends beyond neuroscience into fields like…

The Fitzhugh-Nagumo neuronal model is used to explore the influence of the electric field on thermosensitive neurons' dynamics. This study investigates how the electric field affects polarization modulation in cell media induced by changes…

We consider the coaction of two distinct noise sources on the activation process of a single and two interacting excitable units, which are mathematically described by the Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations. We determine the most probable activation…

This article communicates results on regular depolarization cascades in periodically-kicked feedforward chains of excitable two-dimensional FitzHugh-Nagumo systems driven by sufficiently strong excitatory forcing at the front node. The…

Fifty years ago, Fitzugh introduced a phase portrait that became famous for a twofold reason: it captured in a physiological way the qualitative behavior of Hodgkin-Huxley model and it revealed the power of simple dynamical models to unfold…

We investigate a possibility of realization of structurally stable chaotic dynamics in neural systems. The considered model of interacting neurons consists of a pair of coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo systems, with the parameters being periodically…

According to the conventional approach to model neural ensembles the extracellular environment has fixed ionic concentrations. However, in many cases the extracellular concentration of potassium ions can not be regarded as constant. That…

Neurons are the central biological objects in understanding how the brain works. The famous Hodgkin-Huxley model, which describes how action potentials of a neuron are initiated and propagated, consists of four coupled nonlinear…

This chapter revisits the concept of excitability, a basic system property of neurons. The focus is on excitable systems regarded as behaviors rather than dynamical systems. By this we mean open systems modulated by specific interconnection…

Using the standard van der Pol-FitzHugh-Nagumo excitable medium model I demonstrate a novel generic mechanism, diversity, that provokes the emergence of global oscillations from individually quiescent elements in heterogeneous excitable…

We study the interplay between diversity and noise in a 3D network of FitzHugh-Nagumo elements, with topology and dimensions chosen to model a pancreatic beta-cell cluster, as an example of an excitable cell network. Our results show that…

We use the qualitative insight of a planar neuronal phase portrait to detect an excitability switch in arbitrary conductance-based models from a simple mathematical condition. The condition expresses a balance between ion channels that…

An electronic circuit device, inspired on the FitzHugh-Nagumo model of neuronal excitability, was constructed and shown to operate with characteristics compatible with those of biological sensory neurons. The nonlinear dynamical model of…

We consider the problem of initiation of propagating wave in a one-dimensional excitable fiber. In the FitzHugh-Nagumo theory, the key role is played by ``critical nucleus'' and ``critical pulse'' solutions whose (center-)stable manifold is…

We study the nonlinear dynamics of two delay-coupled neural systems each modelled by excitable dynamics of FitzHugh-Nagumo type and demonstrate that bistability between the stable fixed point and limit cycle oscillations occurs for…

We focus on the qualitative analysis of a reaction-diffusion with spatial heterogeneity. The system is a generalization of the well known FitzHugh-Nagumo system in which the excitability parameter is space dependent. This heterogeneity…

This paper introduces a model of excitability that unifies the mechanism of an important neuronal property both in time and in space. As a starting point, we revisit both a key model of temporal excitability, proposed by Hodgkin and Huxley,…
