Synchrony and lag synchrony on a neuron model coupling with time delay

A neuron model of the Morris and Lecar form is investigated, which is composed of two individuals and is considered to be functioned by the gap junction coupling. When the level of the reversal potential in the calcium ion channel is small, neurons adjust their activities to the common asymptotic states. However, if we increase the level of the reversal voltage in the calcium ion channel, the exact synchrony firing of neurons is produced. Patterns of synchrony activity and the stability are observed to vary with the choice of time delay, which also enhances the multi-variety of the spike bursting firing rhythm. The lag synchrony of time trajectories of the voltage is illustrated near the boundary of the synchrony regime.
