The dynamical complexity of a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) modeling the dynamics of a neuron that interacts with other neurons through on-off excitatory and inhibitory synapses in a neural system was investigated in detail. The model used Morris-Lecar (ML) equations with an additional autonomous variable representing the input from interaction of excitatory neuronal cells with local interneurons. Numerical simulations yielded a rich repertoire of dynamical behavior associated with this three-dimensional system, which included periodic, chaotic oscillation and rare bursts of episodic periodicity called the transient periodicity.
