Dynamics of Neurons Coupled by Inhibitory Synapses and Gap Junctions

New York University

Recent findings show that many inhibitory cell networks in the brain are coupled by recurrent inhibitory synapses as well as gap junctions. However, it is unclear how the interaction of these two coupling sources affect network dynamics. To begin addressing this issue, we study synchronization patterns in models of intrinsically oscillating cells connected by both gap junctions and inhibitory synapses.
