PISA-HOKKAIDO Summer School on Mathematics and Its Applications

course: "Brain math models"

speaker: Maria Laura Manca (CNR, Pisa)

abstract: Firstly, PhD and Master Degree students will learn that neurons are the functional units of the brain, and that they convey information using electrical and chemical signals. This is crucial for understanding the basis of the Hodgkin - Huxley mathematical model that describes how action potentials in neurons are initiated and propagated.

Furthermore, students will study the main biological mechanisms of the sleep focused to explain the most important mathematical models of sleep regulation.

Finally, students can learn about alternative math models describing the phenomena of synchronization for Kuramoto type systems, Schroedinger - Kuramoto and fractional Schroedinger - Kuramoto systems.
