This study investigates the dynamics of phase shift bursting in inhibitory ring systems, specifically in the leech heart interneuron. We analyze the effects of symmetric and asymmetric coupling strengths among neurons, and categorize synchronization patterns by visualizing which neurons are "in phase" and "out of phase". The findings reveal distinct behaviors under different coupling regimes—highlighting both weakly and strongly coupled motifs. This research enhances our understanding of how inhibitory networks compute rhythmic patterns relevant to biological functions.

Strongly coupled motif - symmetric case: Coupling strengths are identical between neurons in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. gsyn12 = 0.1 gsyn21 = 0.1 gsyn23 = 0.1 gsyn32 = 0.1 gsyn31 = 0.1 gsyn13 = 0.1
SynchronizationDiagram Strongly coupled motif - symmetric case, cont’d: Plot indicating which neurons are “in phase” and which ones are “out of phase”. Legend Blue, Red in phase Green out of phase Red, Green in phase Blue out of phase Blue, Green in phase Red out of phase All neurons are out of phase.
Strongly coupled motif – asymmetric case: Coupling strengths are significantly stronger in the counter-clockwise direction than in the clockwise direction. gsyn12 = 0.8 gsyn21 = 0.2 gsyn23 = 0.8 gsyn32 = 0.2 gsyn31 = 0.8 gsyn13 = 0.2
Weakly coupled motif: Coupling strengths are identical between neurons in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. gsyn12 = 0.0005 gsyn21 = 0.0005 gsyn23 = 0.0005 gsyn32 = 0.0005 gsyn31= 0.0005 gsyn13= 0.0005
