In this paper, analytical and numerical studies of the influence of the long-range interaction parameter on the excitability threshold in a ring of FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) system are investigated. The long-range interaction is introduced to the network to model regulation of the Gap junctions or hemichannels activity at the connexins level, which provides links between pre-synaptic and post-synaptic neurons. Results show that the long-range coupling enhances the range of the threshold parameter. We also investigate the long-range effects on the network dynamics, which induces enlargement of the oscillatory zone before the excitable regime. When considering bidirectional coupling, the long-range interaction induces traveling patterns such as traveling waves, while when considering unidirectional coupling, the long-range interaction induces multi-chimera states. We also studied the difference between the dynamics of coupled oscillators and coupled excitable neurons. We found that, for the coupled system, the oscillation period decreases with the increasing of the coupling parameter. For the same values of the coupling parameter, the oscillation period of the Oscillatory dynamics is greater than the oscillation period of the excitable dynamics. The analytical approximation shows good agreement with the numerical results. |
