Abstract
We give an overview on the locking properties of perturbed regularly firing pyramidal neurons, as a function of perturbation strength, self-spiking fr equency and perturbation frequency. For inhibitory perturbations, instead o f locking chaotic response emerges for a whole range of parameters. This su ggests that global synchronization on the set of inhibitory connections may easily be achieved. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights rese rved.
