Canonical leech heart interneuron model

Reduced leech heart interneuron model

Reduced oscillatory heart interneuron model [A. Shilnikov and Cymbalyuk, 2005]:

(1)
\mathrm{\dot V}  = \mathrm{-2\,[30\, m^2_{K2} (V+0.07)+8\,(V+0.046)}+ \mathrm{200\, f^3_{\infty}(-150,\,0.0305\,,V) h_{Na}\,(V-0.045)}+0.0060], \mathrm{\dot h_{Na}} = \mathrm{[f_{\infty}(500,\,0.0325,\,V)-h_{Na}]/0.0406},
\mathrm{\dot m_{K2}} =\mathrm{[f_{\infty}(-83,V_{\frac{1}{2}}+V_{K2}^{shift},V)-m_{K2}]/0.9},

where \mathrm{V} is the membrane potential, \mathrm{h}_{\rm Na} is inactivation of the fast sodium current, and \mathrm{m}_{\rm K2} is activation of persistent potassium one; a Boltzmann function \mathrm{f_{\infty}(a,b,V)=1/(1+e^{a(b+V)})} describes kinetics of (in)activation of the currents. The bifurcation parameter \mathrm{V^{shift}_{K2}} is a deviation from the canonical value \mathrm{V_{\frac{1}{2}}}=0.018V corresponding to f_{\infty}=1/2, i.e. to the semi-activated potassium channel.
