We study the dynamics of neurons via a bistable modified stochastic FitzHugh-Nagumo model having two stable fixed points separated by one unstable fixed point. Due to the ability of a neuron to detect and enhance weak information transmission, we show numerically that starting from the resting potential, we get firing activities (spiking) when operating slightly beyond the supercritical Hopf bifurcation. For real biological systems which are sometimes embedded in the complex environment, we observe that a gradual increase or decrease noise intensities did not result in a gradual change of the membrane potential distribution thanks to noise induced transition phenomena. We shown analytically that for zero correlation between two sine Wiener noises, additive noise has no effect on the transition between monostable and bistable phase on the neural model. We adapted a general expression of the signal-to-noise ratio for a general two-state theory extended in the asymmetric case and non-Gaussian noises in our model to study the influence of noise strength in stochastic resonance. Our investigation revealed that in the evolution of excitable system, neurons may use noises to their advantage by enhancing their sensitivity near a preferred phase to detect external stimuli or affect the efficiency and rate of information processing.
