Noise and time delay are ubiquitous in various physical and biological systems. In this paper, we studied the phase synchronization and mode transition of oscillation mode induced by time delays and noises in a coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo (FHN) neural system. In the case of coupled neurons with single time delay, it is found that the mode oscillation of neurons induced by the noise and time delay undergoes a successive transitions from the synchronization, the out-of phase, the alternating phase-drift and anti-phase state, to the anti-phase state....
