A Mathematical Model of CA1 Hippocampal Neurons with Astrocytic Input
Ferguson, Katie (University of Waterloo, 2009-06-22)Over time astrocytes have been thought to function in an auxiliary manner, providing neurons with metabolic and structural support. However, recent research suggests they may play a fundamental role in the generation and ... -
Mean field analysis gives accurate predictions of the behaviour of large networks of sparsely coupled and heterogeneous neurons
Nicola, Wilten; Njap, Felix; Ferguson, Katie; Skinner, Frances; Campbell, Sue Ann (BioMed Central, 2014-07-21)Large networks of integrate-and-fire (IF) model neurons are often used to simulate and study the behaviour of biologically realistic networks. However, to fully study the large network behaviour requires an exploration of ...
