Introduction:
The session will include all areas of modeling, simulation and analytical methods for neuron or neuronal network models with a particular emphasis on nonlinear phenomena such as Firing Oscillations, Synchronization and Their Propagation Waves. To further understand experimental or computer-simulated results, one often use dynamical system tools such as bifurcation analysis, singular perturbations, and fast-slow systems to provide mathematical insight. In recent years, there are intense research interest on the effects of noise to these neuronal patterns as well as their related mathematical analysis based on bifurcation structure. This special session will provide a forum for researchers in this area to present current results. |
