Bifurcations in Neuron Dynamics
10:00 AM-12:00 PM
Room: Magpie A/B
Neural excitability, spiking, and bursting result from certain
bifurcations of the membrane potential of the cell. Revealing these
bifurcations in mathematical models and in vivo helps to understand
and classify dynamical properties of neurons and their networks. The
speakers in this minisymposium will discuss recent work on neurons
and neuron network models.
