Abstract
The effects of bi-directional gap junction coupling of two model neurons with subthreshold oscillations have been examined when the individual neurons are operating at different dynamical states either in the tonic or bursting firing mode. Our simulations indicate that intermediate coupling strengths mostly lead to highly variable, often chaotic impulse patterns whereas transition to completely synchronized activity at high coupling strengths is generally going along with transitions to regular limit cycle activity. The synchronized activity pattern, however, can be completely different from the original pattern of the uncoupled neurons.
