Abstract
A model system for intracellular calcium oscillations was investigated when the control parameter was perturbed by noise near a Hopf bifurcation point . Noise-induced oscillations were observed. Furthermore, the output signal- to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system went through a maximum with the incremen t of noise intensity indicating the occurrence of internal stochastic reson ance (SR), which showed the constructive role of noise at the cellular leve l.
