Possible dynamics of C1 in a geometrical scenario with two crossing between nullclines. The phase space can be divided in three different regions I, II and III delimited by the crossings between nullclines. Figures (a) and (b) have the same qualitative relations between parameters, i.e.. ϕX = 0 <ϕX > 0, and hence a single dynamics G+ can emerge. Figures (c) and (d) show the two possible scenarios ϕX = 0 <ϕX > 0 and ϕX = 0 > ϕX > 0, providing P-(T+) and P-(T-) dynamics respectively. Note that in (a) and (b) the location of ϕX = 0 determines the dynamics independently of the location of ϕX > 0. However, scenario (c) constraints the locations of ϕX > 0 to the region II. Finally, scenario (d) can be found with ϕX > 0 located in region II or III. The insets represent the corresponding time courses.
