Abstract
In this paper, bursting calcium behaviors of coupled biological oscillators are discussed. Point-cycle bursting of Hopf/Hopf type is obtained by numerical computations based on the fast-slow dynamic analysis. Furthermore, the synchronization behaviors of four coupled identical and unidentical cells are investigated by gap-junction, respectively. It is concluded that bigger synchronization threshold is demanded for the chain coupling than for the ring coupling. This work reveals that the coupling strength for unidentical cells to make them reach synchronization is far bigger than that for identical cells.
