Anticipation via canards in excitable systems
Köksal Ersöz, E.; Desroches, M.
; Mirasso, C.; Rodrigues, S. (2019-01-14)
Neurons can anticipate incoming signals by exploiting a physiological mechanism that is not well understood. This article offers a novel explanation on how a receiver neuron can predict the sender’s dynamics in a ...

Are Brain-Computer Interfaces Feasible withIntegrated Photonic Chips?
Salari, V.; Rodrigues, S.; Saglamyurek, E.; Simon, C.; Oblak, D. (2021-11)
The present paper examines the viability of a radically novel idea for brain-computer interface (BCI), which could lead to novel technological, experimental and clinical applications. BCIs are computer-based systems that ...

Classification of bursting patterns: A tale of two ducks
Desroches, M.; Rinzel, J.; Rodrigues, S. (2022-01-20)
Bursting is one of the fundamental rhythms that excitable cells can generate either in response to incoming stimuli or intrinsically. It has been a topic of intense research in computational biology for several decades. ...

Conductance-Based Refractory Density Approach for a Population of Bursting Neurons
Chizhov, A.; Campillo, F.; Desroches, M.; Guillamon A; Rodrigues, S. (2019)
The conductance-based refractory density (CBRD) approach is a parsimonious mathematical-computational framework for modeling interact- ing populations of regular spiking neurons, which, however, has not been yet extended ...

Geometry of spiking patterns in early visual cortex: A topological data analytic approach
Guidolin, A.; Desroches, M.; Victor, J. D.; Purpura, K. P.; Rodrigues, S. (2022-11-16)
In the brain, spiking patterns live in a high-dimensional space of neurons and time. Thus, determining the intrinsic structure of this space presents a theoretical and experimental challenge. To address this challenge, we ...

Hyperactivation of monocytes and macrophages in MCI patients contributes to the progression of Alzheimer's disease
Munawara, U.; Catanzaro, M.; Xu, W.; Tan, C.; Hirokawa, K.; Bosco, N.; Dumoulin, D.; Khalil, A.; Larbi, A.; Lévesque, S.; Ramassamy, C.; Barron, A.; Cunnane, S.; Beauregard, P.; Bellenger, J.P.; Rodrigues, S.; Desroches, M.; Witkowski, J.M.; Laurent, B.; Frost, E.; Fülöp, T. (2021-12-01)
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease ultimately manifesting as clinical dementia. Despite considerable effort and ample experimental data, the role of neuroinflammation related ...

Immunosenescence and Altered Vaccine Efficiency in Older Subjects: A Myth Difficult to Change
Fülöp, T.; Larbi, A.; Pawelec, G.; Cohen, A.; Provost, G.; Khalil, A.; Lacombe, G.; Rodrigues, S.; Desroches, M.; Hirokawa, K.; Franceschi, C.; Witkowski, J.M. (2022-04-01)
Organismal ageing is associated with many physiological changes, including differences in the immune system of most animals. These differences are often considered to be a key cause of age-associated diseases as well as ...

Inflection, Canards and Folded Singularities in Excitable Systems: Application to a 3D FitzHugh–Nagumo Model
Uria-Albizuri, J.; Desroches, M.; Krupa, M.; Rodrigues, S. (2020-09-07)
Specific kinds of physical and biological systems exhibit complex Mixed-Mode Oscillations mediated by folded-singularity canards in the context of slow-fast models. The present manuscript revisits these systems, specifically ...

Interaction Mechanism Between the HSV-1 Glycoprotein B and the Antimicrobial Peptide Amyloid-β
Bourgade, K.; Frost, E.; Dupuis, G.; Witkowski, J.M.; Laurent, B.; Calmettes, C.; Ramassamy, C.; Desroches, M.; Rodrigues, S.; Fülöp, T. (2022-09-19)
Background: Unravelling the mystery of Alzheimer's disease (AD) requires urgent resolution given the worldwide increase of the aging population. There is a growing concern that the current leading AD hypothesis, the amyloid ...

Metastable resting state brain dynamics
beim Graben, P.; Jimenez-Marin, A.; Diez, I.; Cortes, J.M.; Desroches, M.; Rodrigues, S. (2019-09-06)
Metastability refers to the fact that the state of a dynamical system spends a large amount of time in a restricted region of its available phase space before a transition takes place, bringing the system into another state ...

A phenomenological model for interfacial water near hydrophilic polymers
Earls, A.; Calderer, M.-C.; Desroches, M.; Zarnescu, A.; Rodrigues, S. (2022-06-30)
We propose a minimalist phenomenological model for the ‘interfacial water’ phenomenon that occurs near hydrophilic polymeric surfaces. We achieve this by combining a Ginzburg–Landau approach with Maxwell’s equations which ...

Spike-adding and reset-induced canard cycles in adaptive integrate and fire models
Desroches, M.; Kowalczyk, P.; Rodrigues, S. (2021-05-03)
We study a class of planar integrate and fire (IF) models called adaptive integrate and fire (AIF) models, which possesses an adaptation vari- able on top of membrane potential, and whose subthreshold dynamics is piece- ...

Stochastic facilitation in heteroclinic communication channels
Sirio Carmantini, G.; Schittler Neves, F.; Timme, M.; Rodrigues, S. (2021-09-01)
Biological neural systems encode and transmit information as patterns of activity tracing complex trajectories in high-dimensional state spaces, inspiring alternative paradigms of information processing. Heteroclinic ...
