New dynamics in cerebellar Purkinje cells: torus canards.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a transition from bursting to rapid spiking in a reduced mathematical model of a cerebellar Purkinje cell. We perform a slow-fast analysis of the system and find that-after a saddle node bifurcation of limit cycles-the full model dynamics temporarily follow a repelling branch of limit cycles. We propose that the system exhibits a dynamical phenomenon new to realistic, biophysical applications: torus canards.

Effects of Cadmium on Cellular and Subcellular Structures of Cerebellar Purkinje Cells in Four-Day Postnatal Developing Rat
Purpose: This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of Cd on cellular and subcellular aspects of cerebellar Purkinje cells in developing rats. Materials and methods: forty adult female Wistar rats served as subjects in this experiment. The animals were assigned randomly to four groups: control I, control II, experiment I and experiment II. The experiment group I and II were injected...
متن کاملAn elementary model of torus canards.
We study the recently observed phenomena of torus canards. These are a higher-dimensional generalization of the classical canard orbits familiar from planar systems and arise in fast-slow systems of ordinary differential equations in which the fast subsystem contains a saddle-node bifurcation of limit cycles. Torus canards are trajectories that pass near the saddle-node and subsequently spend l...
متن کاملStereological Estimation of Granule Cell Number and Purkinje Cell Volume in the Cerebellum of Noise-Exposed Young Rat
In spite of the existing reports on behavioural and biochemical changes related to the cerebellum due to noise stress, not much is known about the effect of noise stress on the neuronal changes in the cerebellum. The present study aims at investigating the effects from one week noise exposure on granule cell number and Purkinje cell volume within the neonate rat cerebellum.15-day-old male Wista...
متن کاملOleuropein Attenuates Deltamethrin-induced Apoptosis in Rat Cerebellar Purkinje Neurons
Background: Deltamethrin (DM) is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that can elicit neurotoxicity, and lead to apoptosis. There is accumulating evidence that oleuropein (OE) has anti-apoptotic effect. This study aimed at determining the DM toxicity and anti-apoptotic effect of OE pretreatment in cerebellar Purkinje neurons. Materials and Methods: Rats were randomly divided into four groups a...
متن کاملP 18: Alterations of Electrophysiological Activity of Cerebellar Pukinje Cells of Rats Under Harmaline Toxicity
Introduction: Beta-carboline alkaloids of P. harmala are shown to have immune-modulatory effects in several studies. Extracts of this plant have significant anti-inflammatory effect via the inhibition of some inflammatory mediators including PGE2 and TNF-α. In postmortem studies, structural alterations to the cerebellum have been recognized, including Purkinje cell loss being re...
