Dynamic behaviors of the FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron model with state-dependent impulsive effects

In present work, in order to reproduce spiking and bursting behavior of real neurons, a new hybrid biological neuron model is established and analyzed by combining the FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) neuron model, the threshold for spike initiation and the state-dependent impulsive effects (impulse resetting process). Firstly, we construct Poincare mappings under different conditions by means of geometric analysis, and then obtain some sufficient criteria for the existence and stability of order-1 or order-2 periodic solution to the impulsive neuron model by finding the fixed point of Poincare mapping and some geometric analysis techniques. Numerical simulations are given to illustrate and verify our theoretical results. The bifurcation diagrams are presented to describe the phenomena of period-doubling route to chaos, which implies that the dynamic behavior of the neuron model become more complex due to impulsive effects. Furthermore, the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron model with state-dependent impulsive effects are verified by circuit simulation. Finally, the conclusions of this paper are analyzed and summarized, and the effects of random factors on the electrophysiological activities of neuron are discussed by numerical simulation.
