Model with multistable neurons. (A) Neuron with multiple bistable dendritic compartments. Synapses are shown by colored circles. (B) Firing rate as a function of input current for such a neuron is multistable: each stable firing state corresponds to the fixed number of active dendritic compartments. Introducing the parameters θ and Δ allows us to map the problem mathematically to the previous model with bistable neurons. (C) The recurrent network of multistable neurons with all-to-all connections that can be solved using this method.
