Feedback effects in simulated Stein's coupled neurons
A network consisting of two Stein-type neuronal units is analyzed under the
assumption of a complete interaction between the neurons. The firing of each neuron causes
a jump of constant amplitude of the membrane potential of the other neuron. The jump is
positive or negative according to whether the firing neuron is excitatory or inhibitory.
Making use of a simulation procedure designed by ourselves, we study the
interspike intervals of the two neurons by means of their histograms, of some descriptive
statistics and of empirical distribution functions. Furthermore, via the crosscorrelation
function, we investigate the synchronization between the neurons firing activity in the special
case when one neuron is excitatory and the other is inhibitory
