The study of neuron models and their networks is a riveting topic for many researchers worldwide because it allows to glimpse the fundamental processes using accessible methodology. The paper considers dynamics of small networks of Hodkin-Huxley neurons, namely a chain of three neurons and a small-world-like network of seven neurons. It has been found that complex quasi-periodic and chaotic regimes may arise in the systems, and the existense of such regimes is caused by the inner parameters of the systems, such as individual currents of the neurons and the coupling between them. This research contributes to the fundamental understanding of signal propagation in networks of neuron models and may provide insight into the physiology of real neuronal systems.
