Quasi-Discrete Dynamics of a Neural Net: The Lighthouse Model

This paper studies the features of a net of pulse-coupled model neurons, taking into account the dynamics of dendrites and axons. The axonal pulses are modelled by f (2) stability of phase-locked state with respect to perturbations, such as phase jumps and random fluctuations, the correlation functions of the phases are calculated; (3) phase shifts due to spontaneous opening of vesicles or due to failure of opening; (4) effect of different sensory inputs on axonal pulse frequencies of coupled neurons.
