2.3 Hz) of PD is significantly higher [73]. Second, the symptom severity may be more relevant to the neuronal firing patterns than to the firing rates of GPi [4, 8, 9,…
-molecules, study the properties of the atoms and the inter-molecule interactions like hydrogen bridges and van-der-Waals bounds. Now, to describe a water wave, one has to study millions and millions…

. In neural systems, these parameters usually correspond to time constants or synaptic strengths of the connections between the system elements. The mathematical form of the dependencies and the pattern…
