[Possible modes of autorhythmic activity of a single neuron]

The rhythmic impulse activity of the nerve cells is one of the characteristic phenomena often registered in the experiments on different objects. According to the nature of its origination it should be distinguished the evoked rhythmic activity from autonomic. The variants of interaction of pacemaker and membrane oscillators leading to the variety of regimes of autorhythmic activity of the neuron are discussed. The interaction of several membrane oscillators without the participation of the pacemaker autogenerator may lead to the authorhythmic reverberative (extracellular) activity.
