Abstract: Neuron as the main information carrier in neural systems is able to generate diverse fire trains in response to different stimuli. In this paper, the stimulus frequency is taken as the bifurcation parameter, and ISI is considered to be one of the state variables. Via numerical simulation, we mainly concentrate on the kinds of fire patterns that the modified HH neuron model displays such as period-n, bursting, and modulation fire patterns, etc. under the effect of external sinusoidal ELF electric field, and the relation between the ISI sequences and the external stimulus just like synchronization and transition in the manner of pitchfork bifurcation. In addition, an explanation is put forwards from the electrophysiology point of view to try to interpret why neurons generate so many different kinds of ISI sequences.
