Action potential initial dynamical control of a minimum neuron model

Neuron encodes the information inputs from the dendrites by generating action potential sequences of different firing patterns. Different firing patterns result from different action potential initial dynamic mechanisms. The action potential initial dynamic mechanism is determined by the competition result between different dynamical currents in the sub-threshold potential. In this paper, we adopt a minimum neuron model, design a Wash-out filter from a physiological view to achieve the transition between different action potential initial dynamic mechanisms, and prove that the Wash-out filter controller can alters the action potential initial dynamic mechanism of neuron by affecting the result of competition between currents with different dynamics in the sub-threshold potential.
