The firing patterns of the neuron under Iext = 11μA/cm2 with different stimulus durations (ts). The first arrow denotes the instant that the stimulus stops and the stimulus duration (ts) is defined as the interval from 0 s to this instant, while the second arrow, if any, indicates the instant that the neuron recovers to the resting state. The duration between these two arrows is called “delay (td)”. The initial values of neuron membrane potential, astrocytic intracellular calcium concentration, and magnetic flux are 0 mV, 20 nM, and 0 nWb, respectively.
