THE BIFURCATION OF INTERSPIKE INTERVALS AND NONLINEAR CHARACTERISTICS OF RATE CHANGE IN SPONTANEOUS DISCHARGE OF INJURED NERVES
|
Abstract:
In order to investigate the relationship of the bifurcation and the rate change in the spontaneous discharge of injured nerves, transitional modes of firing rhythms were observed in the experiments and the characteristics of rate change were analyged and numerical simulation. The results indicate that firing rate changed nonlinearly with the bifurcation in interspike intervals. Similar results was found in the theoretic simulation. The investigation suggested that there is a more complicated than linear relationship between the firing rate and the stimulation intensity and which need to be studied.
