Spreading Depression Sends Microglia on Lévy Flights
Spreading depression (SD) is thought to cause migraine aura, and perhaps migraine, and includes a transient loss of synaptic activity preceded and followed by increased neuronal excitability. Activated microglia influence neuronal activity and play an important role in homeostatic synaptic scaling via release of cytokines. Furthermore, enhanced neuronal function activates microglia to not only ...
متن کاملSlow Lévy flights.
Among Markovian processes, the hallmark of Lévy flights is superdiffusion, or faster-than-Brownian dynamics. Here we show that Lévy laws, as well as Gaussian distributions, can also be the limit distributions of processes with long-range memory that exhibit very slow diffusion, logarithmic in time. These processes are path dependent and anomalous motion emerges from frequent relocations to alre...
متن کاملLévy flights in random environments.
We consider Lévy flights characterized by the step index f in a quenched random force field. By means of a dynamic renormalization group analysis we find that the dynamic exponent z for f < 2 locks onto f , independent of dimension and independent of the presence of weak quenched disorder. The critical dimension, however, depends on the step index f for f < 2 and is given by dc = 2f − 2. For d ...
متن کاملCrime Modeling with Lévy Flights
The UCLA burglary hotspot model, introduced in [M. B. Short, M. R. D’Orsogna, V. B. Pasour, G. E. Tita, P. J. Brantingham, A. L. Bertozzi, and L. B. Chayes, Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci., 18 (2008), pp. 1249–1267], models the formation of hotspots of criminal activity. In this paper, we extend the UCLA model to incorporate a more realistic model of human locomotion. The movement of the crimin...
متن کاملLévy flights in inhomogeneous media.
We investigate the impact of external periodic potentials on superdiffusive random walks known as Lévy flights and show that even strongly superdiffusive transport is substantially affected by the external field. Unlike ordinary random walks, Lévy flights are surprisingly sensitive to the shape of the potential while their asymptotic behavior ceases to depend on the Lévy index mu. Our analysis ...
