B 16, No. 2, 445-456 (2011). Summary: We study and classify the firing patterns in the Chay neuronal model by the fast/slow decomposition and the two-parameter bifurcations analysis. We show that the Chay neuronal model can display complex bursting oscillations, including the “fold/fold” bursting, the “Hopf/Hopf” bursting and the “Hopf/homoclinic” bursting. Furthermore, dynamical properties of different firing activities of a neuron are closely related to the bifurcation structures of the fast subsystem. Our results indicate that the codimension-two bifurcation points and the related codimension-one bifurcation curves of the fast-subsystem can provide crucial information to predict the existence and types of bursting with changes of parameters.
