Bursting
Bursting
, or
burst firing
, is an extremely diverse general phenomenon of the activation patterns of
neurons
in the
central nervous system
and
spinal cord
where periods of rapid
action potential
spiking are followed by
G0 phase
quiescent periods. Bursting is thought to be important in the operation of robust
central pattern generators
, the transmission of
neural codes
, and some
neuropathologies
such as
epilepsy
. The study of bursting both directly and in how it takes part in other neural phenomena has been very popular since the beginnings of
cellular neuroscience
and is closely tied to the fields of
neural synchronization
,
neural coding
,
plasticity
, and
attention
.
