Summary:
In our previous study, we considered a model of unidirectionally coupled driven and driving neurons, and obtained that the neurons are synchronized in low or high firing frequency by the inhibitory or excitatory coupling, respectively. In this study, we add the third neuron unidirectionally connected to the above two neurons. This neuron drives other neurons. We study synchronization observed in a system consisting of driving and driven neurons. When the synapse is inhibitory or excitatory, the neurons have a wide parameter region in which stable synchronous firing is observed as the external DC current of the driving neuron becomes small or large, respectively.
