Abstract
Electromagnetic induction plays a crucial impact on the firing activity of biological neurons, since it exists along with the mutual effect between membrane potential and ions transport. Flux-controlled memristor is an available candidate in characterizing the electromagnetic induction effect. Different from the previously reported literature, a non-ideal flux-controlled memristor with cosine mem-conductance function is employed to determine the periodic magnetization and leakage flux processes in neurons. Thereafter, a three-dimensional (3D) memristive Wilson (m-Wilson) neuron model is constructed under the consideration of this kind of electromagnetic induction. Numerical simulations are performed by multiple numerical tools, which demonstrate that the 3D m-Wilson neuron model can generate abundant firing activities. Interestingly, coexisting firing activities, antimonotonicity, and firing frequency regulation are discovered under special parameter settings. Furthermore, a PCB-based analog circuit is designed and hardware measurements are executed to verify the numerical simulations. These explorations in numerical and hardware surveys might provide insights to regulate the firing activities by appropriate electromagnetic induction.

Abstract
Synchronization is a widespread phenomenon in the brain. Despite numerous studies, the specific parameter configurations of the synaptic network structure and learning rules needed to achieve robust and enduring synchronization in neurons driven by spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) and temporal networks subject to homeostatic structural plasticity (HSP) rules remain unclear. Here, we bridge this gap by determining the configurations required to achieve high and stable degrees of complete synchronization (CS) and phase synchronization (PS) in time-varying small-world and random neural networks driven by STDP and HSP. In particular, we found that decreasing P (which enhances the strengthening effect of STDP on the average synaptic weight) and increasing F (which speeds up the swapping rate of synapses between neurons) always lead to higher and more stable degrees of CS and PS in small-world and random networks, provided that the network parameters such as the synaptic time delay [Formula: see text], the average degree [Formula: see text], and the rewiring probability [Formula: see text] have some appropriate values. When [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] are not fixed at these appropriate values, the degree and stability of CS and PS may increase or decrease when F increases, depending on the network topology. It is also found that the time delay [Formula: see text] can induce intermittent CS and PS whose occurrence is independent F. Our results could have applications in designing neuromorphic circuits for optimal information processing and transmission via synchronization phenomena.

Abstract
Memristive electromagnetic induction effect has been widely explored in bi-neuron network with homogeneous neurons, but rarely in bi-neuron network with heterogeneous ones. This paper builds a bi-neuron network by coupling heterogeneous Rulkov neurons with memristor and investigates the memristive electromagnetic induction effect. Theoretical analysis discloses that the bi-neuron network possesses a line equilibrium state and its stability depends on the memristor coupling strength and initial condition. That is, the stability of the line equilibrium state has a transition between unstable saddle-focus and stable node-focus via Hopf bifurcation. By employing parameters located in the stable node-focus region, dynamical behaviors related to the memristor coupling strength and initial conditions are revealed by Julia- and MATLAB-based multiple numerical tools. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed heterogeneous bi-neuron Rulkov network can generate point attractor, period, chaos, chaos crisis, and period-doubling bifurcation. Note that extreme multistability are disclosed with respect to initial conditions of memristor and gated ion concentration. Coexisting infinitely multiple firing patterns of periodic firing patterns with different periodicities and chaotic firing patterns for different memristor initial conditions are demonstrated by phase portrait and time-domain waveform. Besides, the phase synchronization related to the memristor coupling strength and its initial condition is explored, which suggests that the two heterogeneous neurons become phase synchronization with large memristor coupling strength and initial condition. This also reflects that the plasticity of memristor synapse enables adaptive regulation in keeping energy balance between the neurons. What's more, MCU-based hardware experiments are executed to further confirm the numerical simulations.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) and electromagnetic induction are new techniques that are increasingly used in modern epilepsy treatments; however, the mechanism of action remains unclear. In this study, we constructed a bidirectional-coupled cortico-thalamic model, based on which we proposed three regulation schemes: isolated regulation of DBS, isolated regulation of electromagnetic induction and combined regulation of the previous two. In particular, we introduced DBS with a lower amplitude and considered the influence of electromagnetic induction caused by the transmembrane current on the membrane potential. The most striking finding of this study is that the three therapeutic schemes could effectively control abnormal discharge, and combined regulation could reduce the occurrence of epileptic seizures more effectively. The present study bridges the gap between the bidirectional coupling model and combined control. In this way, the damage induced by electrical stimulation of the patient's brain tissue could be reduced, and the abnormal physiological discharge pattern of the cerebral cortex was simultaneously regulated by different techniques. This work opens new avenues for improving brain dysfunction in patients with epilepsy, expands ideas for promoting the development of neuroscience and is meaningful for improving the health of modern society and developing the field of science.

Variations of the spontaneous electrical activities of the neuronal networks imposed by the exposure of electromagnetic radiations using computational map-based modeling. J Comput Neurosci 2023; 51:187-200.

Abstract
The interaction between neurons in a neuronal network develops spontaneous electrical activities. But the effects of electromagnetic radiation on these activities have not yet been well explored. In this study, a ring of three coupled 1-dimensional Rulkov neurons and the generated electromagnetic field (EMF) are considered to investigate how the spontaneous activities might change regarding the EMF exposure. By employing the bifurcation analysis and time series, a comprehensive view of neuronal behavioral changes due to electromagnetic inductions is provided. The main findings of this study are as follows: 1) When a neuronal network is showing a spontaneous chaotic firing manner (without any external stimuli), a generated magnetic field inhibits this type of behavior. In fact, EMF completely eliminated the chaotic intrinsic behaviors of the neuronal loop. 2) When the network is exhibiting regular period-3 spiking patterns, the generated magnetic field changes its firing pattern to chaotic spiking, which is similar to epileptic seizures. 3) With weak synaptic connections, electromagnetic radiation inhibits and suppresses neuronal activities. 4) If the external magnetic flux has a high amplitude, it can change the shape of the induction current according to its shape 5) when there are weak synaptic connections in the network, a high-frequency external magnetic flux engenders high-frequency fluctuations in the membrane voltages. On the whole, electromagnetic radiation changes the pattern of the spontaneous activities of neuronal networks in the brain according to synaptic strengths and initial states of the neurons.

A PID controller for synchronization between master-slave neurons in fractional-order of neocortical network model. J Theor Biol 2023; 556:111311.

Abstract
Modeling of the biological neurons is a way to understand the architecture of neural networks of the brain. A complex brain network includes the synchronization between some groups of neurons. The dynamic behavior of interactions between groups of slave-master neurons in the neocortical network is unpredictable and challenging. The purpose of synchronizing a neural interaction is to reduce the synchronization error between the chaotic slave-master neurons. This paper uses a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller to synchronize master-slave neurons in the fractional-order of the neocortical network model based on dendritic spike frequency adaptation (DSFA) uncertainties and unknown disturbance effects. The purpose of this article is in two parts: First, we implemented the effect of previous states of the neuron conditions by fractional-order of the differential equations in the neocortical network model. Second, by synchronizing the FO neocortical master-slave model by PID controller, we investigated the connection strength of the complex network in chaotic point of view. The optimized PID coefficients and fractional-order were calculated using root mean square error (RMSE) criteria to control the membrane voltage synchronization. The chaotic behavior of the system was evaluated by numerical techniques such as attractor analysis and time series diagrams. The optimal RMSE value for master-slave neurons occurred at fractional-orders 0.89. It is shown that the synchronization of master-slave neurons improves over time, and eventually they are fully synchronized while the controller error is reduced.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electromagnetic induction has recently been considered as an important factor affecting the activity of neurons. However, as an important form of intervention in epilepsy treatment, few people have linked the two, especially the related dynamic mechanisms have not been explained clearly. METHODS Considering that electromagnetic induction has some brain area dependence, we proposed a modified two-compartment cortical thalamus model and set eight different key bifurcation parameters to study the transition mechanisms of epilepsy. We compared and analyzed the application and getting rid of memristors of single-compartment and coupled models. In particular, we plotted bifurcation diagrams to analyze the dynamic mechanisms behind abundant discharge activities, which mainly involved Hopf bifurcations (HB), fold of cycle bifurcations (LPC) and torus bifurcations (TR). RESULTS The results show that the coupled model can trigger more discharge states due to the driving effect between compartments. Moreover, the most remarkable finding of this study is that the memristor shows two sides. On the one hand, it may reduce tonic discharges. On the other hand, it may cause new pathological states. CONCLUSIONS The work explains the control effect of memristors on different brain regions and lays a theoretical foundation for future targeted therapy. Finally, it is hoped that our findings will provide new insights into the role of electromagnetic induction in absence seizures.

Abstract
This paper attempts to explore and compare the regulatory mechanisms of optogenetic stimulation (OS), deep brain stimulation (DBS) and electromagnetic induction on epilepsy. Based on the Wilson-Cowan model, we first demonstrate that the external input received by excitatory and inhibitory neural populations can induce rich dynamic bifurcation behaviors such as Hopf bifurcation, and make the system exhibit epileptic and normal states. Then, both OS and DBS are shown to be effective in controlling the epileptic state to a normal low-level state, and the stimulus parameters have a broad effective range. However, electromagnetic induction cannot directly control epilepsy to this desired state, even if it can significantly reduce the oscillation frequency of neural populations. One main difference worth noting is that the high spatiotemporal specificity of OS allows it to target inhibitory neuronal populations, whereas DBS and electromagnetic induction can only stimulate excitatory as well as inhibitory neuronal populations together. Next, the propagation behavior of epilepsy is explored under a typical three-node feedback loop structure. An increase in coupling strength accelerates and exacerbates epileptic activity in other brain regions. Finally, OS and DBS applied to the epileptic focus play similar positive roles in controlling the behavior of the area of seizure propagation, while electromagnetic induction still only achieves unsatisfactory effects. It is hoped that these dynamical results can provide insights into the treatment of epilepsy as well as other neurological disorders.

Abstract
In this paper, analytical predictions of the firing cascades formed by stable and unstable firings in a Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuron system are completed via an implicit mapping method. The semi-analytical firing cascades present the route from periodic firings to chaos. For such cascades, the continuous firing flow of the nonlinear neuron system is discretized to form a special mapping structure for nonlinear firing activities. Stability and bifurcation analysis of the nonlinear firings are performed based on resultant eigenvalues of the global mapping structures. Stable and unstable firing solutions in the bifurcation tree exhibit clear period-doubling firing cascades toward chaos. Bifurcations are predicted accurately on the connections. Phase bifurcation trees are observed, which provide deep cognitions of neuronal firings. Harmonic dynamics of the period-doubling firing cascades are obtained and discussed for a better understanding of the contribution of the harmonics in frequency domains. The route into chaos is illustrated by the firing chains from period-1 to period-16 firings and verified by numerical solutions. The applied methods and obtained results provide new perspectives to the complex firing dynamics of the HR neuron system and present a potential strategy to regulate the firings of neurons.

Abstract
Photosensitive neurons can capture and convert external optical signals, and then realize the encoding signal. It is confirmed that a variety of firing modes could be induced under optical stimuli. As a result, it is interesting to explore the mode transitions of collective dynamics in the photosensitive neuron network under external stimuli. In this work, the collective dynamics of photosensitive neurons in a small-world network with non-synaptic coupling will be discussed with spatial diversity of noise and uniform noise applied on, respectively. The results prove that a variety of different collective electrical activities could be induced under different conditions. Under spatial diversity of noise applied on, a chimera state could be observed in the evolution, and steady cluster synchronization could be detected in the end; even the nodes in each cluster depend on the degree of each node. Under uniform noise applied on, the complete synchronization window could be observed alternately in the transient process, and steady complete synchronization could be detected finally. The potential mechanism is that continuous energy is pumped in the phototubes, and energy exchange and balance between neurons to form the resonance synchronization in the network with different noise applied on. Furthermore, it is confirmed that the evolution of collective dynamical behaviors in the network depends on the external stimuli on each node. Moreover, the bifurcation analysis for the single neuron model is calculated, and the results confirm that the electrical activities of single neuron are sensitive to different kinds of noise.

Abstract
As the shortest feedback loop of the nervous system, autapse plays an important role in the mode conversion of neurodynamics. In particular, memristive autapses can not only facilitate the adjustment of the dynamical behavior but also enhance the complexity of the nervous system, in view of the fact that the dynamics of the Hopfield neural network has not been investigated and studied in detail from the perspective of memristive autapse. Based on the traditional Hopfield neural network, this paper uses a locally active memristor to replace the ordinary resistive autapse so as to construct a 2 n-dimensional memristive autaptic Hopfield neural network model. The boundedness of the model is proved by introducing the Lyapunov function and the stability of the equilibrium point is analyzed by deriving the Jacobian matrix. In addition, four scenarios are established on a small Hopfield neural network with three neurons, and the influence of the distribution of memristive autapses on the dynamics of this small Hopfield neural network is described by numerical simulation tools. Finally, the Hopfield neural network model in these four situations is designed and implemented on field-programmable gate array by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, which effectively verifies the numerical simulation results.

Abstract
Due to the potential difference between two neurons and that between the inner and outer membranes of an individual neuron, the neural network is always exposed to complex electromagnetic environments. In this paper, we utilize a hyperbolic-type memristor and a quadratic nonlinear memristor to emulate the effects of electromagnetic induction and electromagnetic radiation on a simple Hopfield neural network (HNN), respectively. The investigations show that the system possesses an origin equilibrium point, which is always unstable. Numerical results uncover that the HNN can present complex dynamic behaviors, evolving from regular motions to chaotic motions and finally to regular motions, as the memristors' coupling strength changes. In particular, coexisting bifurcations will appear with respect to synaptic weights, which means bi-stable patterns. In addition, some physical results obtained from breadboard experiments confirm Matlab analyses and Multisim simulations.

Abstract
Though there are many neuron models based on differential equations, the complexity in realizing them into digital circuits is still a challenge. Hence, many new discrete neuron models have been recently proposed, which can be easily implemented in digital circuits. We consider the well-known FitzHugh-Nagumo model and derive the discrete version of the model considering the sigmoid type of recovery variable and electromagnetic flux coupling. We show the various time series plots confirming the existence of periodic and chaotic bursting as in differential equation type neuron models. Also, we have used the bifurcation plots, Lyapunov exponents, and frequency bifurcations to investigate the dynamics of the proposed discrete neuron model. Different topologies of networks like single, two, and three layers are considered to analyze the wave propagation phenomenon in the network. We introduce the concept of using energy levels of nodes to study the spiral wave existence and compare them with the spatiotemporal snapshots. Interestingly, the energy plots clearly show that when the energy level of nodes is different and distributed, the occurrence of the spiral waves is identified in the network.

Regulatory Mechanism for Absence Seizures in Bidirectional Interactive Thalamocortical Model via Different Targeted Therapy Schemes. Neural Plast 2021; 2021:1198072.

Abstract
Recent clinical practice has found that the spike-wave discharge (SWD) scopes of absence seizures change from small cortical region to large thalamocortical networks, which has also been proved by theoretical simulation. The best biophysics explanation is that there are interactions between coupled cortico-thalamic and thalamocortical circuits. To agree with experiment results and describe the phenomena better, we constructed a coupled thalamocortical model with bidirectional channel (CTMBC) to account for the causes of absence seizures which are connected by the principle of two-way communication of neural pathways. By adjusting the coupling strength of bidirectional pathways, the spike-wave discharges are reproduced. Regulatory mechanism for absence seizures is further applied to CTMBC via four different targeted therapy schemes, such as deep brain stimulation (DBS), charge-balanced biphasic pulse (CBBP), coordinated reset stimulation (CRS) 1 : 0, and (CRS) 3 : 2. The new CTMBC model shows that neurodiversity in bidirectional interactive channel could supply theory reference for the bidirectional communication mode of thalamocortical networks and the hypothesis validation of pathogenesis.

Abstract
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an effective method to treat neurophysiological disorders by modulating the electrical activities of neurons. Neurons can exhibit complex nonlinear behaviors underlying the external stimuli. Currently, we do not know how stimulation interacts with endogenous neural activity. In this paper, the effects of magnetic field on spiking neuron, bursting neuron and bistable neuron are studied based on the Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) neuron model. The results show that the neurons in three different states can exhibit different dynamic responses under magnetic field stimulation. The magnetic field stimulation could increase or decrease the firing frequencies of spiking neuron, bursting neuron and bistable neuron. The transitions between different firing patterns of neurons can be promoted by changing the parameters of the magnetic field. Magnetic field stimulation has a minimal impact on the firing temporal sequence sequences in bursting neuron than that in spiking neuron and bistable neuron. These results provided an insight into the impact of neuronal states on neuronal dynamic responses under brain stimulation and show that subtle changes in external conditions and stimuli can cause complex neuronal responses. This study can help us understand the state-dependent coding mechanism of neurons under electromagnetic stimulation.

Abstract
Master stability functions (MSFs) are significant tools to identify the synchronizability of nonlinear dynamical systems. For a network of coupled oscillators to be synchronized, the corresponding MSF should be negative. The study of MSF will normally be discussed considering the coupling factor as a control variable. In our study, we considered various neuron models with electromagnetic flux induction and investigated the MSF's zero-crossing points for various values of the flux coupling coefficient. Our numerical analysis has shown that in all the neuron models we considered, flux coupling has increased the synchronization of the coupled neuron by increasing the number of zero-crossing points of MSFs or by achieving a zero-crossing point for a lesser value of a coupling parameter.

Abstract
Pre-Bötzinger complex (PBC) neurons located in mammalian brain are the necessary conditions to produce respiratory rhythm, which has been widely verified experimentally and numerically. At present, one of the two different types of bursting mechanisms found in PBC mainly depends on the calcium-activated of non-specific cation current (ICaN). In order to study the influence of ICaN and stimulus current Iexc in PBC inspiratory neurons, a single compartment model was simplified, and firing patterns of the model was discussed by using stability theory, bifurcation analysis, fast, and slow decomposition technology combined with numerical simulation. Under the stimulation of different somatic applied currents, the firing behavior of neurons are studied and exhibit multiple mix bursting patterns, which is helpful to further understand the mechanism of respiratory rhythms of PBC neurons.

Influence of Electric Current and Magnetic Flow on Firing Patterns of Pre-Bötzinger Complex Model. Neural Plast 2021; 2021:6655933.

Abstract
The dynamics of neuronal firing activity is vital for understanding the pathological respiratory rhythm. Studies on electrophysiology show that the magnetic flow is an essential factor that modulates the firing activities of neurons. By adding the magnetic flow to Butera's neuron model, we investigate how the electric current and magnetic flow influence neuronal activities under certain parametric restrictions. Using fast-slow decomposition and bifurcation analysis, we show that the variation of external electric current and magnetic flow leads to the change of the bistable structure of the system and hence results in the switch of neuronal firing pattern from one type to another.

Multiple Firing Patterns in Coupled Hindmarsh-Rose Neurons with a Nonsmooth Memristor. Neural Plast 2020; 2020:8826369.

Abstract
A model is introduced by coupling two three-dimensional Hindmarsh-Rose models with the help of a nonsmooth memristor. The firing patterns dependent on the external forcing current are explored, which undergo a process from adding-period to chaos. The stability of equilibrium points of the considered model is investigated via qualitative analysis, from which it can be gained that the model has diversity in the number and stability of equilibrium points for different coupling coefficients. The coexistence of multiple firing patterns relative to initial values is revealed, which means that the referred model can appear various firing patterns with the change of the initial value. Multiple firing patterns of the addressed neuron model induced by different scales are uncovered, which suggests that the discussed model has a multiscale effect for the nonzero initial value.

Abstract
Noise is not always an interfering signal which perturbs the system. On the contrary, noise signals can enhance the performance of some non-linear systems such as stochastic resonance (SR). These systems can detect the weak input signal when it is added to the noise signal. According to this property, SR models play a significant role in the functioning of the brain for detecting weak input signals and synchronisation of neural connections. In this study, the authors model neurons as SR systems where different types of noise, i.e. white noise and pink noise, are employed to amplify the weak nervous signals. They demonstrate colour noise, in particular, pink noise enhances the performance of the SR system to amplify the input signal. Furthermore, pink noise has a wider range of optimum values in comparison to white noise. Therefore, they can conclude that neurons are more sensitive to detect the signals that carry pink noise than signals with white noise or without noise. Hence, the retrieving ability of neurons can be improved by adding pink noise.

Abstract
In this contribution, the complex behaviour of the Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model under magnetic flow effect (mHR) is investigated in terms of bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponent plots and time series when varying only the electromagnetic induction strength. Some exciting phenomena are found including, for instance, various firings patterns by applying appropriate magnetic strength and Hopf-fold bursting through fast-slow bifurcation. In addition to this, the interesting phenomenon of Hopf bifurcation is examined in the model. Thus, we prove that Hopf bifurcation occurs in this memristor-based HR neuron model when an appropriately chosen magnetic flux varies and reaches its critical value. Furthermore, one of the main results of this work was the optimal control approach to realize the synchronization of two mHR. The main advantage of the proposed optimal master-slave synchronization from a control point of view is that, in the practical application, the electrical activities (quiescent, bursting, spiking, period and chaos states) of a neuron can be regulated by a pacemaker (master) associated with biological neuron (slave) to treat some diseases such as epilepsy. A suitable electronic circuit is designed and used for the investigations. PSpice based simulation results confirm that the electrical activities and synchronization between coupled neurons can be modulated by electromagnetic flux.

Abstract
Nowadays, it is important to realize systems that can model the electrical activity of neurons taking into account almost all the properties of the intracellular and extracellular environment in which they are located. It is in this sense that we propose in this paper, the improved model of Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) which takes into account the fluctuation of the membrane potential created by the variation of the ion concentration in the cell. Considering the effect of the electric field that is produced on the dynamic behavior of neurons, the essential properties of the model such as equilibrium point and its stability, bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov spectrum, frequency spectra, time series of the membrane potential and phase portraits are thoroughly investigated. We thus prove that Hopf bifurcation occurs in this system when the parameters are chosen appropriately. We also observe that by varying specific parameters of the electric field, the model presents a very rich and striking event, namely hysteresis phenomenon, which justifies the coexistence of multiple attractors. Besides, by applying a suitable sinusoidal excitation current, we prove that the neuron under electric field effect can present several important electrical activities including quiescent, spiking, bursting and even chaos. We propose the improved HR model under electric field effect (mHR) to study the finite-time synchronization between two neurons when performing synapse coupling across the membrane potential and the electric field coupling. As a result, we find that the synchronization between the two neurons is weakly influenced by the variation of the intensity of the electric field coupling while it is strongly impacted when the intensity of the synapse coupling is modified. From these results, it is obvious that the electric field can be another effective bridge connection to encourage the exchange and coding of the signal. Using the finite-time synchronization algorithm, we theoretically quantify the synchronization time between these neurons. Finally, Pspice simulations are presented to show the feasibility of the proposed model as well as that of the developed synchronization strategy.

Abstract
Energy supply plays a key role in metabolism and signal transmission of biological individuals, neurons in a complex electromagnetic environment must be accompanied by the absorption and release of energy. In this paper, the discharge mode and the Hamiltonian energy are investigated within the Izhikevich neuronal model driven by external signals in the presence of electromagnetic induction. It is found that multiple electrical activity modes can be observed by changing external stimulus, and the Hamiltonian energy is more dependent on the discharge mode. In particular, there is a distinct shift and transition in the Hamiltonian energy when the discharge mode is switched quickly. Furthermore, the amplitude of periodic stimulus signal has a greater effect on the neuronal energy compared to the angular frequency, and the average Hamiltonian energy decreases when the discharge rhythm becomes higher. Based on the principle of energy minimization, the system should choose the minimum Hamiltonian energy when maintaining various trigger states to reduce the metabolic energy of signal processing in biological systems. Therefore, our results give the possible clues for predicting and selecting appropriate parameters, and help to understand the sudden and paroxysmal mechanisms of epilepsy symptoms.

Abstract
This paper proposes a simple locally active memristor whose state equation only consists of linear terms and an easily implementable function and design for its circuit emulator. The effectiveness of the circuit emulator is validated using breadboard experiments and numerical simulations. The proposed circuit emulator has a simple structure, which not only reduces costs but also increases its application value. The power-off plot and DC V-I Loci verify that the memristor is nonvolatile and locally active, respectively. This locally active memristor exhibits low cost, easy physical implementation, and wide locally active region characteristics. Furthermore, a neural model composed of two 2D HR neurons based on the proposed locally active memristor is established. It is found that complicated firing behaviors occur only within the locally active region. A new phenomenon is also discovered that shows coexisting position symmetry for different attractors. The firing pattern transition is then observed via bifurcation analysis. The results of MATLAB simulations are verified from the hardware circuits.

Abstract
In this paper, the effects of asymmetry in an electrical synaptic connection between two neuronal oscillators with a small discrepancy are studied in a 2D Hindmarsh-Rose model. We have found that the introduced model possesses a unique unstable equilibrium point. We equally demonstrate that the asymmetric electrical couplings as well as external stimulus induce the coexistence of bifurcations and multiple firing patterns in the coupled neural oscillators. The coexistence of at least two firing patterns including chaotic and periodic ones for some discrete values of coupling strengths and external stimulus is demonstrated using time series, phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams, maximum Lyapunov exponent graphs, and basins of attraction. The PSpice results with an analog electronic circuit are in good agreement with the results of theoretical analyses. Of most/particular interest, multistability observed in the coupled neuronal model is further controlled based on the linear augmentation scheme. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the control strategy through annihilation of the periodic coexisting firing pattern. For higher values of the coupling strength, only a chaotic firing pattern survives. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the results of this work represent the first report on the phenomenon of coexistence of multiple firing patterns and its control ever present in a 2D Hindmarsh-Rose model connected to another one through an asymmetric electrical coupling and, thus, deserves dissemination.

Abstract
Memristors can be employed to mimic biological neural synapses or to describe electromagnetic induction effects. To exhibit the threshold effect of electromagnetic induction, this paper presents a threshold flux-controlled memristor and examines its frequency-dependent pinched hysteresis loops. Using an electromagnetic induction current generated by the threshold memristor to replace the external current in 2-D Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuron model, a 3-D memristive HR (mHR) neuron model with global hidden oscillations is established and the corresponding numerical simulations are performed. It is found that due to no equilibrium point, the obtained mHR neuron model always operates in hidden bursting firing patterns, including coexisting hidden bursting firing patterns with bistability also. In addition, the model exhibits complex dynamics of the actual neuron electrical activities, which acts like the 3-D HR neuron model, indicating its feasibility. In particular, by constructing the fold and Hopf bifurcation sets of the fast-scale subsystem, the bifurcation mechanisms of hidden bursting firings are expounded. Finally, circuit experiments on hardware breadboards are deployed and the captured results well match with the numerical results, validating the physical mechanism of biological neuron and the reliability of electronic neuron.

Abstract
Facing on the complex electromagnetic environment of electrical equipment, based on the bio-anti-interference characteristics of neuron system, the bio-inspired electromagnetic protection is proposed in order to improve and assist the traditional electromagnetic protection method. In order to analyze the dynamical characteristics of electrical signal transfer process of neuron system, Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) model is adopted to calculate the action potential of single neuron. The initial value problem used in the parameters of Hodgkin-Huxley model is studied in order to satisfy the physiological phenomenon. The stability of HH model is analyzed to assess the dynamic stable performance of neuron. Based on the investigation of single neuron, a simple neuron system consisted of two neurons and one synapse is studied. The compassion between the action potential of posterior neuron and different synapse is performed, which explores how the mathematic models of different synapses influence the action potential. The relationship between action potential of posterior neuron and coupling strength of simplified synapse is calculated to explain the diversity of electrical signal output of neuron system. These numerical results enable to provide some datum for deeply developing the bio-inspired electromagnetic protection and well designing the bio-inspired circuit.

Abstract
The effect of the external electromagnetic radiation on the human brain has been investigated by the numerical calculation of the frequency-dependent complex permittivity. Using the Hodgkin-Huxley neuron model, an analytical method for the calculation of the electromagnetic power absorption in the brain neurons is proposed based on the complex permittivity of neuron membranes. The effect of the human head is considered through the calculation of forward and backward travelling electromagnetic waves. The modified time-dependent Hodgkin-Huxley equations have been used to obtain the reflectivity and transmissivity of the external stimulus at the membrane of the cell. The amount of absorbed energy by the human head is presented in the form of the electromagnetic absorption rate.

Electric activities of time-delay memristive neuron disturbed by Gaussian white noise. Cogn Neurodyn 2019; 14:115-124.

Abstract
To study the effect of electromagnetic induction on the electric activities of neuron, memristive neuron models have been proposed by coupling membrane potential with magnetic flux. In this paper, on the basis of memristive Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model, time-delay memristive Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model is described and the responses of neuron in electrical activities are detected. The effect of time-delay on the dynamical behaviors of the neuron is discussed and the transition of electrical activities of the neuron is investigated with the change of noise intensity. It is found that, both the time-delay and the noise have effect on the electrical activities of the neuron. Especially, by selecting appropriate parameters, the noise not only can excite neuron from quiescent state to bursting state, but also can suppress the electrical activities in neuron during certain discharge period. Results mean that multiple modes and coherence resonance can be observed by changing the size of time-delay or the noise intensity, which could be associated with memory effect and self-adaption in neurons.

Abstract
We extend the existing ordinary differential equations modeling neural electrical activity to include the memory effect of electromagnetic induction through magnetic flux, used to describe time varying electromagnetic field. Through the multi-scale expansion in the semi-discrete approximation, we show that the neural network dynamical equations can be governed by the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. The analytical and numerical envelop soliton of this equation are reported. The results obtained suggest the possibility of collective information processing and sharing in the nervous system, operating in both the spatial and temporal domains in the form of localized modulated waves. The effects of memristive synaptic electromagnetic induction coupling and perturbation on the modulated action potential dynamics examined. Large electromagnetic induction coupling strength may contribute to signal block as the amplitude of modulated waves are observed to decrease. This could help in the development of a chemical brain anaesthesia for some brain pathologies.

Abstract
Spiral waves are particular spatiotemporal patterns connected to specific phase singularities representing topological wave dislocations or nodes of zero amplitude, witnessed in a wide range of complex systems such as neuronal networks. The appearance of these waves is linked to the network structure as well as the diffusion dynamics of its blocks. We report a novel form of the Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model utilized as a square neuronal network, showing the remarkable multistructure of dynamical patterns ranging from characteristic spiral wave domains of spatiotemporal phase coherence to regions of hyperchaos. The proposed model comprises a hyperbolic memductance function as the monotone differentiable magnetic flux. Hindmarsh-Rose neurons with an external electromagnetic excitation are considered in three different cases: no excitation, periodic excitation, and quasiperiodic excitation. We performed an extensive study of the neuronal dynamics including calculation of equilibrium points, bifurcation analysis, and Lyapunov spectrum. We have found the property of antimonotonicity in bifurcation scenarios with no excitation or periodic excitation and identified wide regions of hyperchaos in the case of quasiperiodic excitation. Furthermore, the formation and elimination of the spiral waves in each case of external excitation with respect to stimuli parameters are investigated. We have identified novel forms of Hindmarsh-Rose bursting dynamics. Our findings reveal multipartite spiral wave formations and symmetry breaking spatiotemporal dynamics of the neuronal model that may find broad practical applications.

Abstract
Electrical activities of excitable cells produce diverse spiking-bursting patterns. The dynamics of the neuronal responses can be changed due to the variations of ionic concentrations between outside and inside the cell membrane. We investigate such type of spiking-bursting patterns under the effect of an electromagnetic induction on an excitable neuron model. The effect of electromagnetic induction across the membrane potential can be considered to analyze the collective behavior for signal processing. The paper addresses the issue of the electromagnetic flow on a modified Hindmarsh-Rose model (H-R) which preserves biophysical neurocomputational properties of a class of neuron models. The different types of firing activities such as square wave bursting, chattering, fast spiking, periodic spiking, mixed-mode oscillations etc. can be observed using different injected current stimulus. The improved version of the model includes more parameter sets and the multiple electrical activities are exhibited in different parameter regimes. We perform the bifurcation analysis analytically and numerically with respect to the key parameters which reveals the properties of the fast-slow system for neuronal responses. The firing activities can be suppressed/enhanced using the different external stimulus current and by allowing a noise induced current. To study the electrical activities of neural computation, the improved neuron model is suitable for further investigation.

Abstract
An improved Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuron model, where the memristor is a bridge between membrane potential and magnetic flux, can be used to investigate the effect of periodic signals on autaptic regulation of neurons under electromagnetic radiation. Based on the improved HR model driven by periodic high-low-frequency current and electromagnetic radiation, the responses of electrical autaptic regulation with diverse high-low-frequency signals are investigated using bifurcation analysis. It is found that the electrical modes of neurons are determined by the selecting parameters of both periodic high and low-frequency current and electromagnetic radiation, and the Hamiltonian energy depends on the neuronal firing modes. The effects of Gaussian white noise on the membrane potential are discussed using numerical simulations. It is demonstrated that external high-low-frequency stimulus plays a significant role in the autaptic regulation of neural firing mode, and the electrical mode of neurons can be affected by the angular frequency of both high-low-frequency forcing current and electromagnetic radiation. The mechanism of neuronal firing regulated by high-low-frequency signal and electromagnetic radiation discussed here could be applied to research neuronal networks and synchronisation modes.

Abstract
The distinctive phenomenon of the chimera state has been explored in neuronal systems under a variety of different network topologies during the last decade. Nevertheless, in all the works, the neurons are presumed to interact with each other directly with the help of synapses only. But, the influence of ephaptic coupling, particularly magnetic flux across the membrane, is mostly unexplored and should essentially be dealt with during the emergence of collective electrical activities and propagation of signals among the neurons in a network. Through this article, we report the development of an emerging dynamical state, namely, the alternating chimera, in a network of identical neuronal systems induced by an external electromagnetic field. Owing to this interaction scenario, the nonlinear neuronal oscillators are coupled indirectly via electromagnetic induction with magnetic flux, through which neurons communicate in spite of the absence of physical connections among them. The evolution of each neuron, here, is described by the three-dimensional Hindmarsh-Rose dynamics. We demonstrate that the presence of such non-locally and globally interacting external environments induces a stationary alternating chimera pattern in the ensemble of neurons, whereas in the local coupling limit, the network exhibits a transient chimera state whenever the local dynamics of the neurons is of the chaotic square-wave bursting type. For periodic square-wave bursting of the neurons, a similar qualitative phenomenon has been witnessed with the exception of the disappearance of cluster states for non-local and global interactions. Besides these observations, we advance our work while providing confirmation of the findings for neuronal ensembles exhibiting plateau bursting dynamics and also put forward the fact that the plateau pattern actually favors the alternating chimera more than others. These results may deliver better interpretations for different aspects of synchronization appearing in a network of neurons through field coupling that also relaxes the prerequisite of synaptic connectivity for realizing the chimera state in neuronal networks.

Abstract
The last two decades have seen many literatures on the mathematical and computational analysis of neuronal activities resulting in many mathematical models to describe neuron. Many of those models have described the membrane potential of a neuron in terms of the leakage current and the synaptic inputs. Only recently researchers have proposed a new neuron model based on the electromagnetic induction theorem, which considers inner magnetic fluctuation and external electromagnetic radiation as a significant missing part that can participate in neural activity. While the flux coupling of the membrane is considered equivalent to a memductance function of a memristor, standard memductance model of α + 3 β ϕ 2 has been used in the literatures, but in this paper we propose a new memductance function based on discontinuous flux coupling. Various dynamical properties of the neuron model with discontinuous flux coupling are studied and interestingly the proposed model shows hyperchaotic behavior which was not identified in the literatures. Furthermore, we consider a ring network of the proposed model and investigate whether the chimera state can emerge. The chimera state relates to the state with simultaneously coherence and incoherence in oscillatory networks and has received much attention in recent years.

Abstract
The FitzHugh–Nagumo model is improved to consider the effect of the electromagnetic induction on single neuron. On the basis of investigating the Hopf bifurcation behavior of the improved model, stochastic resonance in the stochastic version is captured near the bifurcation point. It is revealed that a weak harmonic oscillation in the electromagnetic disturbance can be amplified through stochastic resonance, and it is the cooperative effect of random transition between the resting state and the large amplitude oscillating state that results in the resonant phenomenon. Using the noise dependence of the mean of interburst intervals, we essentially suggest a biologically feasible clue for detecting weak signal by means of neuron model with subcritical Hopf bifurcation. These observations should be helpful in understanding the influence of the magnetic field to neural electrical activity.

Abstract
Synapse coupling can benefit signal exchange between neurons and information encoding for neurons, and the collective behaviors such as synchronization and pattern selection in neuronal network are often discussed under chemical or electric synapse coupling. Electromagnetic induction is considered at molecular level when ion currents flow across the membrane and the ion concentration is fluctuated. Magnetic flux describes the effect of time-varying electromagnetic field, and memristor bridges the membrane potential and magnetic flux according to the dimensionalization requirement. Indeed, field coupling can contribute to the signal exchange between neurons by triggering superposition of electric field when synapse coupling is not available. A chain network is designed to investigate the modulation of field coupling on the collective behaviors in neuronal network connected by electric synapse between adjacent neurons. In the chain network, the contribution of field coupling from each neuron is described by introducing appropriate weight dependent on the position distance between two neurons. Statistical factor of synchronization is calculated by changing the external stimulus and weight of field coupling. It is found that the synchronization degree is dependent on the coupling intensity and weight, the synchronization, pattern selection of network connected with gap junction can be modulated by field coupling.

Abstract
In this paper, a new four-variable dynamical system is proposed to set chaotic circuit composed of memristor and Josephson junction, and the dependence of chaotic behaviors on nonlinearity is investigated. A magnetic flux-controlled memristor is used to couple with the RCL-shunted junction circuit, and the dynamical behaviors can be modulated by changing the coupling intensity between the memristor and the RCL-shunted junction. Bifurcation diagram and Lyapunov exponent are calculated to confirm the emergence of chaos in the improved dynamical system. The outputs and dynamical behaviors can be controlled by the initial setting and external stimulus as well. As a result, chaos can be suppressed and spiking occurs in the sampled outputs under negative feedback, while applying positive feedback type via memristor can be effective to trigger chaos. Furthermore, it is found that the number of multi-attractors in the Jerk circuit can be modulated when memristor coupling is applied on the circuit. These results indicate that memristor coupling can be effective to control chaotic circuits and it is also useful to reproduce dynamical behaviors for neuronal activities.

Abstract
Complex anatomical and physiological structure of an excitable tissue (e.g., cardiac tissue) in the body can represent different electrical activities through normal or abnormal behavior. Abnormalities of the excitable tissue coming from different biological reasons can lead to formation of some defects. Such defects can cause some successive waves that may end up to some additional reorganizing beating behaviors like spiral waves or target waves. In this study, formation of defects and the resulting emitted waves in an excitable tissue are investigated. We have considered a square array network of neurons with nearest-neighbor connections to describe the excitable tissue. Fundamentally, electrophysiological properties of ion currents in the body are responsible for exhibition of electrical spatiotemporal patterns. More precisely, fluctuation of accumulated ions inside and outside of cell causes variable electrical and magnetic field. Considering undeniable mutual effects of electrical field and magnetic field, we have proposed the new Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuronal model for the local dynamics of each individual neuron in the network. In this new neuronal model, the influence of magnetic flow on membrane potential is defined. This improved model holds more bifurcation parameters. Moreover, the dynamical behavior of the tissue is investigated in different states of quiescent, spiking, bursting and even chaotic state. The resulting spatiotemporal patterns are represented and the time series of some sampled neurons are displayed, as well.

Abstract
In this work we show how global self-organized patterns can come out of a disordered ensemble of point oscillators, as a result of a deterministic, and not of a random, cooperative process. The resulting system dynamics has many characteristics of classical thermodynamics. To this end, a modified Kuramoto model is introduced, by including Euclidean degrees of freedom and particle polarity. The standard deviation of the frequency distribution is the disorder parameter, diversity, acting as temperature, which is both a source of motion and of disorder. For zero and low diversity, robust static phase-synchronized patterns (crystals) appear, and the problem reverts to a generic dissipative many-body problem. From small to moderate diversity crystals display vibrations followed by structure disintegration in a competition of smaller dynamic patterns, internally synchronized, each of which is capable to manage its internal diversity. In this process a huge variety of self-organized dynamic shapes is formed. Such patterns can be seen again as (more complex) oscillators, where the same description can be applied in turn, renormalizing the problem to a bigger scale, opening the possibility of pattern evolution. The interaction functions are kept local because our idea is to build a system able to produce global patterns when its constituents only interact at the bond scale. By further increasing the oscillator diversity, the dynamics becomes erratic, dynamic patterns show short lifetime, and finally disappear for high diversity. Results are neither qualitatively dependent on the specific choice of the interaction functions nor on the shape of the probability function assumed for the frequencies. The system shows a phase transition and a critical behaviour for a specific value of diversity.

Abstract
Electrical activities are ubiquitous neuronal bioelectric phenomena, which have many different modes to encode the expression of biological information, and constitute the whole process of signal propagation between neurons. Therefore, we focus on the electrical activities of neurons, which is also causing widespread concern among neuroscientists. In this paper, we mainly investigate the electrical activities of the Morris-Lecar (M-L) model with electromagnetic radiation or Gaussian white noise, which can restore the authenticity of neurons in realistic neural network. First, we explore dynamical response of the whole system with electromagnetic induction (EMI) and Gaussian white noise. We find that there are slight differences in the discharge behaviors via comparing the response of original system with that of improved system, and electromagnetic induction can transform bursting or spiking state to quiescent state and vice versa. Furthermore, we research bursting transition mode and the corresponding periodic solution mechanism for the isolated neuron model with electromagnetic induction by using one-parameter and bi-parameters bifurcation analysis. Finally, we analyze the effects of Gaussian white noise on the original system and coupled system, which is conducive to understand the actual discharge properties of realistic neurons.

Abstract
Spatial pattern formation and selection depend on the intrinsic self-organization and cooperation between nodes in spatiotemporal systems. Based on a memory neuron model, a regular network with electromagnetic induction is proposed to investigate the synchronization and pattern selection. In our model, the memristor is used to bridge the coupling between the magnetic flux and the membrane potential, and the induction current results from the time-varying electromagnetic field contributed by the exchange of ion currents and the distribution of charged ions. The statistical factor of synchronization predicts the transition of synchronization and pattern stability. The bifurcation analysis of the sampled time series for the membrane potential reveals the mode transition in electrical activity and pattern selection. A formation mechanism is outlined to account for the emergence of target waves. Although an external stimulus is imposed on each neuron uniformly, the diversity in the magnetic flux and the induction current leads to emergence of target waves in the studied network.

Abstract
The collective behaviors of networks are often dependent on the network connections and bifurcation parameters, also the local kinetics plays an important role in contributing the consensus of coupled oscillators. In this paper, we systematically investigate the influence of network structures and system parameters on the spatiotemporal dynamics in excitable homogeneous random networks (EHRNs) composed of periodically self-sustained oscillation (PSO). By using the dominant phase-advanced driving (DPAD) method, the one-dimensional (1D) Winfree loop is exposed as the oscillation source supporting the PSO, and the accurate wave propagation pathways from the oscillation source to the whole network are uncovered. Then, an order parameter is introduced to quantitatively study the influence of network structures and system parameters on the spatiotemporal dynamics of PSO in EHRNs. Distinct results induced by the network structures and the system parameters are observed. Importantly, the corresponding mechanisms are revealed. PSO influenced by the network structures are induced not only by the change of average path length (APL) of network, but also by the invasion of 1D Winfree loop from the outside linking nodes. Moreover, PSO influenced by the system parameters are determined by the excitation threshold and the minimum 1D Winfree loop. Finally, we confirmed that the excitation threshold and the minimum 1D Winfree loop determined PSO will degenerate as the system size is expanded.

Abstract
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has compelling results in the desynchronization of the basal ganglia neuronal activities and thus, is used in treating the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). Accurate definition of DBS waveform parameters could avert tissue or electrode damage, increase the neuronal activity and reduce energy cost which will prolong the battery life, hence avoiding device replacement surgeries. This study considers the use of a charge balanced Gaussian waveform pattern as a method to disrupt the firing patterns of neuronal cell activity. A computational model was created to simulate ganglia cells and their interactions with thalamic neurons. From the model, we investigated the effects of modified DBS pulse shapes and proposed a delay period between the cathodic and anodic parts of the charge balanced Gaussian waveform to desynchronize the firing patterns of the GPe and GPi cells. The results of the proposed Gaussian waveform with delay outperformed that of rectangular DBS waveforms used in in-vivo experiments. The Gaussian Delay Gaussian (GDG) waveforms achieved lower number of misses in eliciting action potential while having a lower amplitude and shorter length of delay compared to numerous different pulse shapes. The amount of energy consumed in the basal ganglia network due to GDG waveforms was dropped by 22% in comparison with charge balanced Gaussian waveforms without any delay between the cathodic and anodic parts and was also 60% lower than a rectangular charged balanced pulse with a delay between the cathodic and anodic parts of the waveform. Furthermore, by defining a Synchronization Level metric, we observed that the GDG waveform was able to reduce the synchronization of GPi neurons more effectively than any other waveform. The promising results of GDG waveforms in terms of eliciting action potential, desynchronization of the basal ganglia neurons and reduction of energy consumption can potentially enhance the performance of DBS devices.

Abstract
Responses of different neurons to electric field (EF) are highly variable, which depends on intrinsic properties of cell type. Here we use multi-compartmental biophysical models to investigate how morphologic features affect EF-induced responses in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. We find that the basic morphologies of neuronal elements, including diameter, length, bend, branch, and axon terminals, are all correlated with somatic depolarization through altering the current sources or sinks created by applied field. Varying them alters the EF threshold for triggering action potentials (APs), and then determines cell sensitivity to suprathreshold field. Introducing excitatory postsynaptic potential increases cell excitability and reduces morphology-dependent EF firing threshold. It is also shown that applying identical subthreshold EF results in distinct polarizations on cell membrane with different realistic morphologies. These findings shed light on the crucial role of morphologies in determining field-induced neural response from the point of view of biophysical models. The predictions are conducive to better understanding the variability in modulatory effects of EF stimulation at the cellular level, which could also aid the interpretations of how applied fields activate central nervous system neurons and affect relevant circuits.
