dc.descriptionWe study the transient regime of type-II biophysical neuron models and determine the scaling behavior of relaxation times $τ$ near but below the repetitive firing critical current, $τ\simeq C (I_c-I)^{-Δ}$. For both the Hodgkin-Huxley and Morris-Lecar models we find that the critical exponent is independent of the numerical integration time step and that both systems belong to the same universality class, with $Δ= 1/2$. For appropriately chosen parameters, the FitzHugh-Nagumo model presents the same generic transient behavior, but the critical region is significantly smaller. We propose an experiment that may reveal nontrivial critical exponents in the squid axon.
