Title: Complex dynamics of excitable McKean-Vlasov dynamics and applications to Parkinson’s disease

Abstract: In this talk, I will present a few properties of McKean-Vlasov equations representing the dynamics of large networks of neurons. Neurons are typically described as excitable systems: each has a globally stable state corresponding to rest, but perturbations exceeding a threshold lead to transient large excursions away from the resting state. I will present here a combination of...

ORCiD (Open Researcher and Contributor ID) is a persistent digital identifier to resolve the researcher's name ambiguity problem. Researchers are required to provide their ORCiD iD when applying for a grant or submitting an article for publication. Learn more about creating an ORCiD iD at www.iam.uiowa.edu/planter, linking your ORCiD iD to the University of Iowa, and adding your publication records from data sources (Scopus, CrossRef, etc.) to your ORCiD.
