We performed an exhaustive numerical analysis of the two-dimensional Chialvo map by obtaining the parameter planes based on the computation of periodicities and Lyapunov exponents. Our results allowed us to determine the different regions of dynamical behavior, identify regularities in the distribution of periodicities in regions indicating regular behavior, find some pseudofractal structures, identify regions such as the “eyes of chaos” similar to those obtained in parameter planes of continuous systems, and, finally, characterize the statistical properties of chaotic attractors leading to possible hyperchaotic behavior.
