Six types of multistability in a neuronal model based on slow calcium current.

<h4>Background</h4>Multistability of oscillatory and silent regimes is a ubiquitous phenomenon exhibited by excitable systems such as neurons and cardiac cells. Multistability can play functional roles in short-term memory and maintaining posture. It seems to pose an evolutionary advanta...
