The failure of neuropathic pain to abate even years after trauma suggests that adverse
changes to synaptic function must exist in a chronic pathological state in nociceptive …

This is a book on mathematical neuroscience, in which the unifying theme is wavelike
phenomena at multiple spatial and temporal scales. There are already several excellent …

In this chapter, neural field theory is used to model binocular rivalry waves. During binocular
rivalry, visual perception switches back and forth between different images presented to the …

Dendrites form the major components of neurons. They are complex branching structures
that receive and process thousands of synaptic inputs from other neurons. It is well known …

To establish and exploit novel biomarkers of demyelinating diseases requires a mechanistic
understanding of axonal propagation. Here, we present a novel computational framework …

Dendrites, the major components of neurons, have many different types of branching
structures and are involved in receiving and integrating thousands of synaptic inputs from …

One way to achieve amplification of distal synaptic inputs on a dendritic tree is to scale the
amplitude and/or duration of the synaptic conductance with its distance from the soma. This …

Neurons are characterised by a morphological structure unique amongst biological cells, the
core of which is the dendritic tree. The vast number of dendritic geometries, combined with …

The spike-diffuse-spike (SDS) model describes a passive dendritic tree with active dendritic
spines. Spine-head dynamics is modelled with a simple integrate-and-fire process, whilst …

Dendritic spines are small, mushroom-like protrusions from the arbor of a neuron in the
central nervous system. Interdependent changes in the morphology, biochemistry, and …
