“…It is well known that synchronization is crucial to the information transmission among coupled neurons, it is correlated with many physiological mechanisms of normal and pathological brain functions (Wang et al 2015a(Wang et al , b, 2016Banerjee et al 2016;Mehta et al 2002) as well as with several neurological diseases (Wang et al 2016;Levy et al 2000;Mormann et al 2003;Wu et al 2014), such as epilepsy and tremor in Parkinson's disease. In the past decade, synchronization phenomena in coupled neural system has been extensively studied and many synchronization phenomena have been found, such as noise-induced synchronization (Wu et al 2014;Wang et al 2015b;Zhou and Kurths 2003;Perc 2009), bursting synchronization (Ngouonkadi et al 2016), time delayinduced synchronization (Zhang et al 2014), the partial synchronization (Steur et al (2012), the phase synchronization (Yu et al 2011;Ngouonkadi et al 2015). For instance, Zhang et al (2014) studied the synchronization of time-delayed chemically coupled burst-spiking neurons with correlated noises.…”
