Abstract: 

We present the analysis of spatiotemporal dynamics in the system modeling collective behaviour of ensemble of electrically coupled neuronal cells. The dynamics of local element is described by the FitzHugh – Nagumo system with complex threshold excitation. Heteroclinic orbits and corresponding wave fronts are investigated. We show that in the phase space of system for traveling waves there exist heteroclinic cycle formed by separatrix manifolds of two saddle-foci. It is shown that the existence of such cycle leads to complex spatiotemporal dynamics of ensemble including rhomb-like and nonstationary oscillating wave structures.
