Spreading speeds and travelling waves for non-monotone time-delayed lattice equations
A non-monotone time-delayed lattice system with global interaction is considered. The spreading speed, including the upward convergence, is established by comparison arguments and a fluctuation method. The existence of travelling waves is obtained by Schauder’s fixed-point theorem and a limiting process. It turns out that the minimal wave speed of travelling waves coincides with the spreading s...
متن کاملFrom periodic travelling waves to travelling fronts in the spike-diffuse-spike model of dendritic waves.
In the vertebrate brain excitatory synaptic contacts typically occur on the tiny evaginations of neuron dendritic surface known as dendritic spines. There is clear evidence that spine heads are endowed with voltage-dependent excitable channels and that action potentials invade spines. Computational models are being increasingly used to gain insight into the functional significance of a spine wi...
متن کاملIntermittent collective dynamics emerge from conflicting imperatives in sheep herds.
Among the many fascinating examples of collective behavior exhibited by animal groups, some species are known to alternate slow group dispersion in space with rapid aggregation phenomena induced by a sudden behavioral shift at the individual level. We study this phenomenon quantitatively in large groups of grazing Merino sheep under controlled experimental conditions. Our analysis reveals stron...
متن کاملAction - Perception patterns emerge from coupling andadaptationG
Organisms function in particular environments, the properties of which are reeected in the structure of their nervous systems. Therefore, sensory information may directly specify motor behaviors. We argue that such speciication involves the coupling of sensory information into appropriately structured control systems that generate action. The nature of this coupling as well as the structure of ...
متن کاملA simple mathematical model inspired by the Purkinje cells: from delayed travelling waves to fractional diffusion
Recently, several experiments have demonstrated the existence of fractional diffusion in the neuronal transmission occurring in the Purkinje cells, whose malfunctioning is known to be related to the lack of voluntary coordination and the appearance of tremors. Also, a classical mathematical feature is that (fractional) parabolic equations possess smoothing effects, in contrast with the case of ...
