Mode locking in a periodically forced integrate-and-fire-or-burst neuron model

The minimal “integrate-and-fire-or-burst” (IFB) neuron model reproduces the salient features of experimentally observed thalamocortical relay neuron response properties, including the temporal tuning of both tonic spiking (i.e., conventional action potentials) and post-inhibitory rebound bursting mediated by the low-threshold Ca2+ current, IT....
