Description
We consider the solution to a non-linear mean-field equation modeling a FitzHug-Nagumo neural network (see [1], [2], [3]). The non-linearity in this equation arises from the interaction between neurons. We suppose that the interactions depend on the spatial location of neurons and we focus on the behavior of the solution in the regime where short-range interactions are dominant. The solution then converges to a Dirac mass (see [4]). The aim of this talk is to characterize the blow-up profile: we will prove that it is Gaussian. Then we present interesting consequences of this result both at the macroscopic and the mesoscopic level.
