Mathematical Physiology, Lecture 6: Spatial dependence in the FitzHugh–Nagumo equations

In the sixth lecture from her 4th year Mathematical Physiology course, Christiana Mavroyiakoumou considers spatial dependence of the FitzHugh–Nagumo equations. These equations simplify the four-dimensional Hodgkin-Huxley model into a two-dimensional version that’s easier to analyse, while still capturing the key features of nerve excitability.

Third and fourth year lectures are followed by classes.
