D Cebrián-Lacasa, P Parra-Rivas, D Ruiz-Reynés… - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
Abstract The FitzHugh–Nagumo equation, originally conceived in neuroscience during the
1960s, became a key model providing a simplified view of excitable neuron cell behavior. Its …

Does the brain behave like a (complex) network? I. Dynamics

D Papo, JM Buldú - Physics of life reviews, 2024 - Elsevier
Graph theory is now becoming a standard tool in system-level neuroscience. However,
endowing observed brain anatomy and dynamics with a complex network structure does not …

Solitary routes to chimera states

L Schülen, A Gerdes, M Wolfrum, A Zakharova - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
We show how solitary states in a system of globally coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators
can lead to the emergence of chimera states. By a numerical bifurcation analysis of a …

Response of solitary states to noise-modulated parameters in nonlocally coupled networks of Lozi maps
