The firing sequence of the neuron system that transmits information consumes a significant amount of energy, but it is unclear how the firing pattern of the neuron system determines its energy efficiency. The mode transformation and energy efficiency in different firing modes are investigated using the Chay neuron model. It has been found that when system parameters are tuned, the neurons show complex bursting kinetics. The period-n bursting state of the neuron carries high amounts of information while consuming less energy per unit of information, resulting in higher energy efficiency. In particular, the mixed discharge state, where the neuron is in several bursting states simultaneously, is more energy efficient, and appropriate electromagnetic inductioncan enhance the neuron's energy efficiency. Furthermore, there are optimal system parameters that maximize the energy efficiency of firing modes, demonstrating that the neuron carries high amounts of information while consuming less energy per unit of information. The study helps to understand the energy mechanism of neural information propagation and provides an insight into the energy efficiency characteristic of neuron systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
