Classification of bursting patterns: A tale of two ducks
Fig 2
Example of electrophysiological recordings of bursting oscillations in 4 types of neurons: (a) parabolic-type bursting from the CeN neuron from the melibe (a sea slug) [26]; (b) square-wave-type bursting from a human β-cell [27]; (c) elliptic-type bursting from a dorsal-root-ganglia (DRG) neuron of a rat [28]; (d) pseudo-plateau-type bursting from a pituitary cell of a rat [29] (“Copyright 2011 Society for Neuroscience”).
In each case, we highlight with colors the 2 main phases of bursting oscillations: silent (quiescent) and active (burst). Figures adapted with permission.
