title: Abnormal discharges and chaos in a neuronal model system.
abstract: Using the mathematical model of the pacemaker neuron formulated by Chay, we have investigated the conditions in which a neuron can generate chaotic signals in response to variation in temperature, ionic compositions, chemicals, and the strength of applied depolarizing current.
