Understanding spiking and bursting electrical activity through piece-wise linear systemsTools Gheorghe, Ana Maria (2012) Understanding spiking and bursting electrical activity through piece-wise linear systems. PhD thesis, University of Nottingham.
AbstractIn recent years there has been an increased interest in working with piece-wise linear caricatures of nonlinear models. Such models are often preferred over more detailed conductance based models for their small number of parameters and low computational overhead. Moreover, their piece-wise linear (PWL) form, allow the construction of action potential shapes in closed form as well as the calculation of phase response curves (PRC). With the inclusion of PWL adaptive currents they can also support bursting behaviour, though remain amenable to mathematical analysis at both the single neuron and network level. In fact, PWL models caricaturing conductance based models such as that of Morris-Lecar or McKean have also been studied for some time now and are known to be mathematically tractable at the network level.
