Abstract

We describe a type of bursting oscillations arising in a model of reciprocally connected neurons, where a time delay has been introduced to account for synaptic and propagation delays. We show that in this system bursting oscillations appear at an infinite period bifurcation characterized by a homoclinic tangency to a limit cycle. Such homoclinic bursting phenomena are characterized by a logarithmic lengthening of the period, which could be measured from experimental time series.
