Abstract
AbstractWe analyze the effect of spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) on a system of pulse-coupled class I neurons. Our research begins with a system of two mutually connected quadratic integrate-and-fire (QIF) neurons, which are canonical representatives of class I neurons. Along with various asymptotic modes previously observed in other neuronal models with plastic synapses, we found a stable synchronous mode characterized by unidirectional link from a slower neuron to a faster neuron. In this frequency-locked mode, the faster neuron emits multiple spikes per cycle of the slower neuron. We analytically obtain the Arnold tongues for this mode without STDP and with STDP. We also consider larger plastic networks of QIF neurons and show that the detected mode can manifest itself in such a way that slow neurons become pacemakers. As a result, slow and fast neurons can form large synchronous clusters that generate low-frequency oscillations. We demonstrate the generality of the results obtained with two connected QIF neurons using Wang–Buzsáki and Morris–Lecar biophysically plausible class I neuron models.
