Spiking and bursting of a fractional order of the modified FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron model

Abstract

This paper reports bursting behavior and related bifurcations in a fractional order FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron model, by adding sub fast-slow system. We classify different bursters of the system consisting fold/Hopf via a fold/fold hysteresis loop, homoclinic/homolininc cycle-cycle, fold/homoclinic, homoclinic/Hopf via homoclinic/fold hysteresis loop. We determine stability and dynamical behaviors of the equilibria of the system by numerical simulations.
