Phase transformation and synchrony for a network of coupled Izhikevich neurons

Abstract

A number of recent articles have employed the Lorentz ansatz to reduce a network of Izhikevich neurons to a tractable mean-field description. In this letter, we construct an equivalent phase model for the Izhikevich model and apply the Ott-Antonsen ansatz, to derive the mean field dynamics in terms of the Kuramoto order parameter. In addition, we show that by defining an appropriate order parameter in the voltage-firing rate framework, the conformal mapping of Montbrió et al., which relates the two mean-field descriptions, remains valid.
