Qualitative Models of Neural Activity and the Carleman Embedding Technique.
<p>The two variable Fitzhugh Nagumo model behaves qualitatively like the four variable Hodgkin-Huxley space clamped system and is more mathematically tractable than the Hodgkin Huxley model, thus allowing the action potential and other properties of the Hodgkin Huxley system to be more readily be …

Nonlinear observer design and synchronization analysis for classical models of neural oscillators
This thesis explores four nonlinear classical models of neural oscillators, the Hodgkin- Huxley model, the Fitzhugh-Nagumo model, the Morris-Lecar model, and the Hindmarsh-Rose model. Analysis techniques for nonlinear systems were used to develop a set of observers and perform synchronization …

The role of short term synamptic plasticity in temporal coding of neuronal networks
… the sound source. We derive a mathematical model of a reduced avian brainstem network and show that inputs with synaptic plasticity, to the coincidence detector neuron, play a vital role in enhancing coincidence detecting ability of the bird. We present comparisons to experiments. In the …

Development of computational and experimental tools to study mechanotransduction in C.elegans and primates
… thesis presents the development of predictive models to gain an understanding of the processes leading to mechanosensation. More specifically we study and model (1) how surface loads are transmitted to embedded mechanoreceptors and (2) how one type of mechanoreceptor (slowly adapting type-i or …

Action Potential Simulation of the Hirudo Medicinalis's Retzius Cell in MATLAB
<p>Modification of Hodgkin and Huxley’s experimentally derived set of nonlinear differential equations was implemented to accurately simulate the action potential of the <em>Hirudo Medicinalis’s</em> Retzius cell in <em>MATLAB</em> under analogous conditions to those found in the Retzius cell …
