A–D: Abrupt transition from the theta to the hyper-excitable regime in two recurrently connected SCs as a result of a small increase in the amount of excitation. A: In the absence of recurrent excitation the SCs fire out of phase. B and C: Recurrent excitation synchronizes the SCs in phase but the firing frequency remains almost unchanged in the theta regime. D: A small increase in the maximal synaptic conductance causes the abrupt transition to the hyper-excitable regime. The parameters used are . E and F: A small increase in inhibition to the two recurrently connected SCs reverses the firing frequency from the hyper-excitable to the theta regime. The parameters used are .
