Abstract:
A model of the afferent primary neuron in the form of the Hodgkin–Huxley equations modified by Aleksandrov–Soto to third-order model and two simplified second-order models is under consideration. Stationary solutions of these models, periodic solutions, stationary solutions attraction regions and bistability intervals are compared. It is concluded that the simplified model with a functional representation of the inactivation parameter better approximates the full third-order model.
