The effect of intrinsic channel noise is investigated for the dynamic response of a neuronal cell with a delayed feedback loop. The loop is based on the so-called autapse phenomenon in which dendrites establish not only connections to…
The dichotomy between noise-stable and (completely) noise-sensitive stochastic models is of recent interest in probability theory. Of particular interest is the study of lattice models coming from statistical physics. The Fourier transform…
We show that intrinsic noise can induce spatio-temporal phenomena such as Turing patterns and travelling waves in a Brusselator model with nonlocal interaction terms. In order to predict and to characterize these quasi-waves we analyze the…
Oscillatory networks subjected to noise are broadly used to model physical and technological systems. Due to their nonlinear coupling, such networks typically have multiple stable and unstable states that a network might visit due to noise.…
When the rate of shot noise is controlled by on-off states we speak of intermittent shot noise. The on-off states lead to alternately occurring clusters of events and intermissions, respectively. We derive the power spectrum of the…
The response of a neural cell to an external stimulus can follow one of the two patterns: Nonresonant neurons monotonously relax to the resting state after excitation while resonant ones show subthreshold oscillations. We investigate how do…
Stochastic resetting and noise-enhanced stability are two phenomena which can affect the lifetime and relaxation of nonequilibrium states. They can be considered as measures of controlling the efficiency of the completion process when a…
In previous articles we have investigated the firing properties of the standard Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) systems of ordinary and partial differential equations in response to input currents composed of a drift (mean) and additive Gaussian white…
The stochastic mutual repressor model is analysed using perturbation methods. This simple model of a gene circuit consists of two genes and three promotor states. Either of the two protein products can dimerize, forming a repressor molecule…
Noise induced Brownian dynamics in underdamped medium is studied numerically to understand the firing time of excitable systems. By considering Brownian particles that move in underdamped medium, we study how the first arrival time behaves…
Burst oscillations, a phenomenon observed in a significant fraction of Type I (thermonuclear) X-ray bursts, involve the development of highly asymmetric brightness patches in the burning surface layers of accreting neutron stars.…
We study a reaction model that presents stochastic resonance purely due to internal noise. This means that the only source of fluctuations comes from the discrete character of the reactants, and no more noises enter into the system. Our…
A stochastic model of excitatory and inhibitory interactions which bears universality traits is introduced and studied. The endogenous component of noise, stemming from finite size corrections, drives robust inter-nodes correlations, that…
We show that chimera patterns can be induced by noise in nonlocally coupled neural networks in the excitable regime. In contrast to classical chimeras, occurring in noise-free oscillatory networks, they have features of two phenomena:…
Noise induced excitability is studied in type I and II Morris-Lecar neurons subject to constant sub threshold input, where fluctuations arise from sodium and potassium ion channels. Ion channels open and close randomly, creating current…
We investigate the role of noise in the phenomenon of stochastic synchronization of switching events in a rocked, overdamped bistable potential driven by white Gaussian noise, the archetype description of Stochastic Resonance. We present a…
We study the emergence and coherence of stochastic oscillations in star networks of excitable elements in which peripheral nodes receive independent random inputs. A biophysical model of a distal branch of sensory neuron in which peripheral…
The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer has detected nearly coherent oscillations in the tails of type I X-ray bursts from 17 low-mass X-ray binaries. The oscillations are thought to be generated by brightness fluctuations associated with a surface…
The puzzle of birth velocities of pulsars (pulsar kicks) could be solved by an asymmetric explosion of type II Supernovae. We propose a simple hydrodynamical mechanism in order to explain this asymmetry, through the advective-acoustic cycle…
We study analytically the dynamics of a network of sparsely connected inhibitory integrate-and-fire neurons in a regime where individual neurons emit spikes irregularly and at a low rate. In the limit when the number of neurons N tends to…
