Dynamics of on-off neural firing patterns and stochastic effects near a sub-critical Hopf bifurcation.

On-off firing patterns, in which repetition of clusters of spikes are interspersed with epochs of subthreshold oscillations or quiescent states, have been observed in various nervous systems, but the dynamics of this event remain unclear. Here, we report that on-off firing patterns observed in three...
