Title: Multiscale Modeling of Axonal Cytoskeleton Dynamics in Disease
Speaker: Chuan Xue (Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematics, Ohio State University)
Abstract: The shape and function of an axon is dependent on its cytoskeleton, including microtubules, neurofilaments and actin. Neurofilaments accumulate abnormally in axons in many...

Title: Analysis of Complex Bursting Patterns in Multiple Time Scale Respiratory Neuron Models
Speaker: Yangyang Wang (PhD Candidate, University of Pittsburgh)
Abstract: CPGs may exhibit behavior, including bursting, involving multiple distinct time scales. Our goal is to understand bursting dynamics in multiple-time-scale systems, motivated by a...
