Dynamical systems analysis of intrinsic excitability of neural cells

In this thesis we use tools provided by dynamical systems theory to analyse transient behaviour of neural cells. We study models in Hodgkin-Huxley formalism that have a natural time-scale separation, which allows us to apply concepts of geometrical singular perturbation theory. The analysis presente...
