Abstract
An analog electronic model is proposed to qualitatively reproduce the main dynamic regimes of inferior-olive (IO) neurons. An analog simulation is used to study the dynamics of a single IO neuron and a pair of neurons involved in inhibitory feedback. The experimental results that demonstrate that such feedback leads to a partial spike synchronization of the interacting neurons are presented. It is shown that the electronic model can be used for the simulation of the burst activity of oscillatory neurons.
