Mathematical Biology
Dynamical Systems Theory

Background:

Standard neuron models often present trade-offs between computational efficiency, analytical tractability, and the richness of their dynamical behaviors.
Existing models may have large parameter spaces or limited repertoires of autonomous and excitable dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce a new map-based neuron model derived from the dynamical perceptron family.
To achieve a superior compromise between computational efficiency, analytical tractability, reduced parameter space, and diverse dynamical behaviors.
To characterize the model's dynamical repertoire and compare it with existing neuron models.

Main Methods:

Derivation of a novel map-based neuron model from the dynamical perceptron family.
Analytical and computational calculation of bifurcation and phase diagrams.
Characterization of autonomous and excitable dynamical behaviors.
Comparison of the new model's features against standard neuron models in the literature.

Main Results:

The proposed model demonstrates an optimal balance of computational efficiency, analytical tractability, and a reduced parameter space.
Bifurcation and phase diagrams reveal a rich repertoire of autonomous and excitable dynamical behaviors.
A novel regime of cardiac spikes, characterized by nonchaotic aperiodic behavior, has been identified.

Conclusions:

The new map-based neuron model offers a powerful and versatile tool for studying neuronal dynamics.
The model's ability to exhibit complex behaviors, including the newly discovered cardiac spike regime, makes it a valuable addition to computational neuroscience.
Its favorable balance of properties facilitates both theoretical analysis and computational simulations of neural activity.
