which the spikes of the neurons are represented by a family of interacting
point processes on the positive real line. The model depends on a parameter
gamma, representing the intensity of the natural leakage of the neurons. This
model has already been proven to exhibit several interesting behaviors. Firstly
it undergoes phase transition with respect to the parameter gamma. Moreover the
time of extinction of finite versions of the system have been proven to be
asymptotically memory-less for small gamma, a characteristic property of
metastable systems. Here we show that this last result actually holds in the
whole subcritical region and that previous to extinction the finite versions of
the system are in a regime which in some sense resemble stationarity. This is
the second characteristic property of metastable dynamics. The main idea is to
use a bypass through the theory of "Interacting particles systems".</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,"sans-serif""><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%"><br></span></p>
