Applied Math Talk: Dynamics of neuroendocrine stress response given by Prof. Maria Rita D’Orsogna (CSUN)
Applied Math Talk: Dynamics of neuroendocrine stress response given by Prof. Maria Rita D’Orsogna (CSUN)
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is a neuroendocrine system that regulates numerous physiological processes. Disruptions are correlated with stress-related diseases such as PTSD and major depression. We characterize "normal" and "diseased" states of the HPA axis as basins of attraction of a dynamical system describing the main hormones regulated by the HPA axis. Our model includes […]

Magnitude meets persistence. What happens after?
Magnitude meets persistence. What happens after?
The magnitude is an isometric invariant of metric spaces that was introduced by Tom Leinster in 2010, and is currently the object of intense research, as it has been shown to encode many invariants of a metric space such as volume, dimension, and capacity. When studying a metric space in topological data analysis using persistent […]
