Abstract

We examine the dynamics of a non-weakly coupled inhibitory network of two identical Morris-Lecar model neurons with type-I excitability, which was recently shown to exhibit stable alternating-order activity, whereby the spiking order of the two cells changes in each cycle of the oscillation. We provide an intuitive geometric description of such leader switching and demonstrate that the concept of negative phase allows to analyze the existence and stability of such alternating-order dynamics.
