Abstract

The two-compartment Pinsky-Rinzel model of a hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neuron consists of electrically coupled soma and dendritic compartments, each with active ionic conductances. This model has been widely used in a variety of contexts, but little analysis has been performedon its bursting solutions. In this chapter, we provide a geometric framework to study the Pinsky-Rinzel model. Using a combination of analysis and simulations, we identify neuronal mechanisms responsible for certain salient features of the model such as burst initiation and somatic-dendritic ping-pong. Some of these mechanisms are then demonstrated in a conceptually simpler, two-compartment Morris-Lecar model.
