Abstract

This article focuses on the analysis of dynamics emerging in a network of Hodgkin–Huxley reaction–diffusion equations. The network has three levels. The three neurons in level 1 receive a periodic input but do not receive inputs from other neurons. The three neurons in level 2 receive inputs from one specific neuron in level 1 and all neurons in level 3. The neurons in level 3 (all other neurons) receive inputs from all other neurons in levels 2 and 3. Furthermore, the right-hand side of pre-synaptic neurons is connected to the left-hand side of the post-synaptic neurons. The synchronization phenomenon is observed for neurons in level 3, even though the system is initiated with different functions. As far as we know, it is the first time that evidence of the synchronization phenomenon is provided for spatially extended Hodgkin–Huxley equations, which are periodically forced at three different sites and embedded in such a hierarchical network with space-dependent coupling interactions.
