The idealisation of neuronal pulses as $\delta$-spikes is a convenient approach in neuroscience but can sometimes lead to erroneous conclusions. We investigate the effect of a finite pulse-width on the dynamics of balanced neuronal…
Synchronization is one of the most striking instances of collective behavior, occurring in many natural phenomena. For example, in some ant species, ants are inactive within the nest most of the time, but their bursts of activity are highly…
Autapses are synapses that connect a neuron to itself in the nervous system. Previously, both experimental and theoretical studies have demonstrated that autaptic connections in the nervous system have a significant physiological function.…
When the entities undergoing a chemical reaction are not available simultaneously, the classical rate equation of a reaction or, alternatively for the evolution of a population, should be extended by including non-Markovian memory effects.…
This paper investigates the relations between the particular eigensolutions of a limiting functional differential equation of any order, which is the nominal (unperturbed) linear autonomous differential equations, and the associate ones of…
It is well-known that wave-type equations with memory, under appropriate assumptions on the memory kernel, are uniformly exponentially stable. On the other hand, time delay effects may destroy this behavior. Here, we consider the…
We consider a robust stabilization of the fourth-order oscillatory systems with non-collocated output sensing. Worth recalling is that the fourth-order systems are relatively common in mechatronics as soon as there are two-mass or more…
Population-wide oscillations are ubiquitously observed in mesoscopic signals of cortical activity. In these network states a global oscillatory cycle modulates the propensity of neurons to fire. Synchronous activation of neurons has been…
Feedback controlled ratchets are thermal rectifiers that use information on the state of the system to operate. We study the effects of time delays in the feedback for a protocol that performs an instantaneous maximization of the…
In this work we study a nonlinear Volterra equation with non-symmetric feedback that arises as a particular case of the Gurtin-MacCamy model in population dynamics. We are particularly interested in the existence of slowly oscillating…
The chaotic spike train of a homoclinic dynamical system is self-synchronized by re-inserting a small fraction of the delayed output. Due to the sensitive nature of the homoclinic chaos to external perturbations, stabilization of very long…

Foundation models have shown remarkable success in fitting biological visual systems; however, their black-box nature inherently limits their utility for understanding brain function. Here, we peek inside a SOTA foundation model of neural…
Closed-loop or feedback control ratchets use information about the state of the system to operate with the aim of maximizing the performance of the system. In this paper we investigate the effects of a time delay in the feedback for a…
We discuss a bifurcation scenario which creates periodic pulsating solutions in slow-fast delayed systems through a cascade of almost simultaneous Hopf bifurcations. This scenario has been previously associated with formation of pulses in a…
Much recent progress has been achieved for stabilization of linear and nonlinear systems with input delays that are long and dependent on either time or the plant state---provided the dependence is known. In this paper we consider the delay…
Given a finite set of local constraints, we seek a cellular automaton (i.e., a local and uniform algorithm) that self-stabilises on the configurations that satisfy these constraints. More precisely, starting from a finite perturbation of a…
The stabilization of steady states is studied in a modified Lang-Kobayashi model of a semiconductor laser. We show that multiple time-delayed feedback, realized by a Fabry-Perot resonator coupled to the laser, provides a valuable tool for…
Delays and stochasticity have both served as crucially valuable ingredients in mathematical descriptions of control, physical, and biological systems. In this work, we investigate how explicitly dynamical stochasticity in delays modulates…
A single dynamical system with time-delayed feedback can emulate networks. This property of delay systems made them extremely useful tools for Machine Learning applications. Here we describe several possible setups, which allow emulating…
