(A) The flowchart summarizes the results depicting the relationship between the single neuron properties and network dynamics (black lines). The description of the network effects of bursting through the two mechanisms was achieved by separating the effect of f − I curves from that of the firing patterns using SSB neurons. The single neuron firing pattern made dependent on the network dynamics resulted in hysteresis. The gray lines show the unexplored facets of the relationship between the two in the manuscript. (B) This schematic summarizes how the two mechanisms control the oscillatory activity in the network. The addition of BS neurons in an oscillating system gives rise to a recurrent noise and destroys the fine temporal balance between E and I populations that give rise to oscillations and quench them. Mechanism-II shifts the bifurcation line in the phase space by reducing the Jcr with the addition of BS neurons.
