Bursting is one of the fundamental rhythms that excitable cells can generate either in response to incoming stimuli or intrinsically. It has been a topic of intense research in computational biology for several decades. The classification of bursting oscillations in excitable systems has been the subject of active research since the early 1980s...

In Neuroscience, mathematical modelling involving multiple spatial and temporal scales can unveil complex oscillatory activity such as excitable responses to an input current, subthreshold oscillations, spiking or bursting. While the number of slow and fast variables and the geometry of the system determine the type of the complex oscillations,...
