We consider two electrically coupled oscillators described by modified Fitzhugh-Nagumo equations. We study the relative influence of the individual cellular characteristics and the electrical coupling on the behavior of the coupled system. We show that, for similar oscillators, the load effect of the slow oscillator increases with the coupling strength. We prove that an asymmetry between the uncoupled bursters can accelerate the system with respect to the free cells, this effect depending on the characteristics of the coupling.
我们考虑由修正的Fitzhugh-Nagumo方程描述的两个电耦合振荡器。我们研究了单个细胞特性和电耦合对耦合系统行为的相对影响。我们表明，对于相似的振荡器，慢振荡器的负载效应随耦合强度增加。我们证明，未耦合的爆发神经元之间的不对称性相对于自由细胞可以加速系统，这种效应取决于耦合的特性。
