(color online) (a) Fast-slow decomposition analysis of the fast subsystem with g_K = 5.2 nS (red), 5.92 nS (blue), and 7.5 nS (green) respectively. (b) Two-parameter bifurcation with parameters g_K and h. The black curve represents the Hopf bifurcation curve, the red curve represents the fold bifurcation of equilibrium, and the blue curve represents the fold bifurcation of limit cycles. CP is the codimension-2 cusp bifurcation.
