Abstract
We investigate different dynamical regimes of a small neuronal circuit. This circuit includes two cells that are interconnected by means of dynamical synapses (excitatory and inhibitory). On the individual level, each neuron is modelled by FitzHugh–Nagumo equations. To analyze complex patterns and transitions between them in this small circuit, we apply wavelet analysis. We analyse the influence of synaptic kinetics on the synchronization in this circuit. We also show that the wavelet analysis could be applicable to systems that are difficult to investigate using methods of classical bifurcation analysis.
