“…Ever since the term "dynamical diseases" was coined (Glass and Mackey, 1979;Mackey and Milton, 1987), epilepsy has been used as a classic example (Lopes da Silva et al, 2003;Milton and Jung, 2002). The number of theoretical approaches and computational studies in the field of epilepsy is vast, and we point the reader to a range of excellent reviews in the field Case and Soltesz, 2011;Lytton, 2008;Stefanescu et al, 2012;Suffczynski et al, 2008;Ullah and Schiff, 2009;Wendling, 2008;Wendling et al, 2015). In agreement with the overall trend in computational neuroscience, computational models of epileptic activity are built based on knowledge regarding the relevant underlying neural components.…”
