Excitable Behaviors

Abstract: This chapter revisits the concept of excitability, a basic system property of neurons. The focus is on excitable systems regarded as behaviors rather than dynamical systems. By this we mean open systems modulated by specific interconnection properties rather than closed systems classified by their parameter ranges. Modeling, analysis, and synthesis questions can be formulated in the classical language of circuit theory. The input-output characterization of excitability is in terms of the local sensitivity of the current-voltage relationship. It suggests the formulation of novel questions for non-linear system theory, inspired by questions from experimental neurophysiology.
