We study the dynamics of the excitable Fitz Hugh–Nagumo system under external noisy
driving. Noise activates the system producing a sequence of pulses. The coherence of these …

In this review, we summarize results of recent research on the temporal variability of lung
function, symptoms, and inflammatory biomarkers. Specifically, we demonstrate how …

Rationale: During deglutition, a strongly preferred exhale–swallow–exhale pattern has been
shown in healthy adults. Disruption of this pattern can provoke prandial aspiration. Impaired …

Apnea of prematurity (AOP) is one of the most common diagnoses in preterm infants. Severe
and recurrent apneas are associated with cerebral injury and adverse neurodevelopmental …

Je tiens impossible de connaître les parties sans connaître le tout, non plus que de
connaître le tout sans connaître particulierement les parties-Pascal The eterna [mystery of …

Physiologic systems in health and disease display an extraordinary range of temporal
behaviors and structural patterns that defy understanding based on linear constructs …

Dynamical diseases are characterized by sudden changes in the qualitative dynamics of
physiological processes, leading to abnormal dynamics and disease. Thus, there is a …

Neuronal oscillators can function as bistable toggle switches, flipping between quiescence
and rhythmic firing in response to an input stimulus. In theory, such switching should be …

Breathing patterns in preterm infants consist of highly variable interbreath intervals (IBIs) that
might originate from nonlinear properties of the respiratory oscillator and its input-output …

Dynamical disease refers to illnesses that are associated with striking changes in the
dynamics of some bodily function. There is a large literature in mathematics and physics …
