We study a heteroclinic bifurcation leading to the onset of robust phase-lag jittering in bursting rhythms generated by a neuronal circuit. We show that the jitter phenomenon is associated with the occurrence of a stable invariant curve emerging through a torus bifurcation in 2D return maps for phase lags between three constituent bursters. To study biologically plausible and phenomenological models of rhythmic neuronal networks we have further developed parallel computational techniques for parameter continuations of all possible fixed points and invariant curves of such return maps. The method is based on a “fine” brute-force analysis of the large data set generated by the computational techniques.
