Turing bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation are two important kinds of transitions giving birth to inhomogeneous solutions, in spatial or temporal ways. On a disk, these two bifurcations may lead to equivariant Turing-Hopf bifurcations. In this…
We deal with the problem of bridging the gap between two scales in neuronal modeling. At the first (microscopic) scale, neurons are considered individually and their behavior described by stochastic differential equations that govern the…
We consider two neuronal networks coupled by long-range excitatory interactions. Oscillations in the gamma frequency band are generated within each network by local inhibition. When long-range excitation is weak, these oscillations…
