saddle-node bifurcations in neuronal systems

Saddle-node bifurcation in neuronal systems refers to a critical point where there is a sudden and qualitative change in the behavior of a neuron or a network of neurons due to a small change in a controlling parameter. This bifurcation point resembles a saddle shape and can cause a neuron to shift from one stable state to another, leading to significant changes in its firing activity or overall network dynamics.
