Rhythmogenic effects of weak electrotonic coupling in neuronal models.

Open access
Sherman, A, Rinzel, J·1992·Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Strong gap-junctional coupling can synchronize the electrical oscillations of cells, but we show, in a theoretical model, that weak coupling can phase lock two cells 180 degrees out-of-phase. Antiphase oscillations can exist in parameter regimens where in-phase oscillations break down. Some consequences are (i) coupling two excitable cells leads to pacemaking, (ii) coupling two pacemaker cells leads to bursting, and (iii) coupling two bursters increases burst period. The latter shows that details of the fast spikes can affect macroscopic properties of the slow bursts. These effects hold in other models for bursting and may play a role in the collective behavior of cellular ensembles.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
