Vital functions in living organisms occur through changes in electrical activity. These activities consist of brain rhythms with different frequencies that exhibit oscillatory behavior and can be monitored by local field potentials or EEG recordings. The synchronization of neural activity underlies the emergence of these rhythmic waves, which are of great importance in the nervous system. In this study, the effects of changes in intrinsic mechanisms and intercellular communication, that are constituting neural activity, on the synchronization of neuron pair which is composed of two nerve cells and connected with different types of synaptic junction were investigated in a biologically meaningful way. The obtained results showed that the excitability, synaptic and ionic conductivity levels are crucial for neurons to synchronize. It has also been found that the noise caused by the stochastic nature of the ion channels is an auxiliary biological component to achieve synchronization.
