Abstract
Constant current injection with superimposed periodic inhibition gives rise to phase locking as well as chaotic activity in rat neocortical neurons. Here we compare the behavior of a leaky integrate-and-fire neural model with that of a biophysically realistic model of the rat neuron to determine which membrane properties influence the response to such stimuli. We find that only the biophysical model with voltage-sensitive conductances can produce chaotic behavior.
