Bursting is a rapid signaling mode in neurons whereby clusters of two or more action potentials (spikes) are emitted as a single signaling event. A burst of two spikes is called a doublet, three spikes - triplet, four - quadruplet, etc. Burst mode is thought to be useful for signaling important events and routing information in the brain.In general, there are two types of bursting: Input-driven bursting, where strong excitatory inputs produce a rapid activation and burst of action potent
