Abstract

This paper studies dynamics of a simple bifurcating neuron to which spike-train input is applied a refractory threshold. The neuron can exhibit rich periodic orbits that is super-stable for initial state and has very fast transient. The periodic orbits are characterized by the rotation number that relates to rate coding of the spike-train. The dynamics can be simplified into the 1-D map of spiking phase. The phase map is piecewise linear and basic bifurcation phenomena can be clarified theoretically.
