We investigate a model for synchronous neural activity in networks of coupled neurons. The individual systems are governed by nonlinear dynamics and can continuously vary between excitable and oscillatory behaviour. Analytical calculations and computer simulations show that coupled excitable systems can undergo two different phase transitions from synchronous to asynchronous firing behaviour. One of the transitions is akin to the synchronization transitions in coupled oscillator systems, while the second transition can only be found in coupled excitable systems. We present an analytical derivation of the two transitions and discuss implications for synchronization transitions in biological neural networks.
