Classification of bursting patterns: A tale of two ducks
Fig 3
Electrophysiological recordings of the lateral thalamic nuclei neuron in cat from [31] show complex bursting oscillations.
Colored boxes highlight the active (burst) and silent (quiescent) phases of the bursting oscillations. The quiescent phase comprises 1 oscillation formed by a slow rise toward bursting threshold and a faster descent toward baseline. This complex bursting pattern is well captured by the “Folded-node/Homoclinic” bursting scenario proposed here. Figure adapted with permission.
