Abstract
In this work, we consider a mathematical model describing spontaneous calcium signaling in astrocytes. Based on biologically relevant principles, this model simulates experimentally observed calcium oscillations and can predict the emergence of complicated dynamics. Using analytical and numerical analysis, various attracting sets were found and investigated. Employing bifurcation theory analysis, we examined steady state solutions, bistability, simple and complicated periodic limit cycles and also chaotic attractors. We found that astrocytes possess a variety of complex dynamical modes, including chaos and multistability, that can further provide different modulations of neuronal circuits, enhancing their plasticity and flexibility.
