ABSTRACT
Dynamical behavior of a silent Hodgkin-Huxley neuron subjected to external periodic perturbations is investigated. Induced dynamics for this forced system, exhibit nonlinear resonance with respect to the forcing frequency. Within the U-shaped resonance curve, both regular (phase locked) and irregular spike sequences are invoked. For appropriate tuning frequencies, this simple system generates spike trains recordings similar to ones observed in actual experiments.
