Abstract

In all mammalian brain billions of neurons exist and these neurons are working together through synapses and spike responses. Through numerous models presented to describe neuronal response and how the membrane potential would vary due to different tasks, still a big question stand still in the field of neuroscience. Why a neuron can produce different types of spikes under same conditions? Here we build up a new model of spiking neuron based on Izhikevich model which can generate all possible neuronal spikes and we try to answer this question by putting the concept of quantum superposition into account.
