Abstract:
Synchronization phenomena are ubiquitous in many complex physical, biological and neuronal systems. Phase synchronization of coupled extended Hindmarsh-Rose neurons with magnetic and electrical couplings is discussed. It is found that the threshold for the coupling strength to reach phase synchronization is gradually smaller when the coupling phase is increased under the same stimulus current. Under the same coupling phase, the coupling strength to reach phase synchronization is almost increasing gradually with increasing the stimulus current, no matter in what state the neuron is. Our recent findings are significant and helpful for further understanding the collective behaviors of neuronal system including comprehensive physical mechanisms and information transmissions.
