Abstract
Today, we are at the heart of a great revolution brought about by emerging new ideas of chaos. The discovery of chaos has had a major impact on many fields of science, engineering, and mathematics. This phenomenon sheds new light on explaining the workings of the Earth’s weather system, lasers, fluids, mechanical structures, earthquakes, etc. Understanding the brain and its behavior has been an active research field with various applications, including finding new solutions to cure brain diseases, designing better robots, and studying the behavior of neural networks. So far, various neural models have been developed. One such model is the Hindmarsh-Rose biological neuron model, which mimics the thalamic neurons of the brain. In this study, we analyzed the behavior of the Hindmarsh-Rose neurons under an electric field with a certain parameter. The Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model used here enables us to simulate how neurons behave in various situations, such as when they are exposed to electric fields. A program developed in MATLAB was used to perform simulations. Time response plots were obtained by varying parameters influencing the Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model. In this article, we look at how these factors change the way neurons act. Sometimes, they go from a steady firing pattern to more complex behavior, like oscillation death, which is shown by the simulations done in MATLAB software. From this article, one can understand how to improve a neural network for artificial intelligence. Additionally, how different external stimuli affect brain activity, which can lead to various neurological disorders.
