Through the past two decades, a great collaboration started between biologist and mathematicians to understand the complex dynamics of neurodegenerative diseases. During this presentation,
we will dive into a short overview of the prion and Alzheimer’s disease models and show how mathematics have been helping to bring light to some unexplained observations. We will deal with
size structured differential equations with polymerization and fragmentation terms (of Smoluchowski type)), some hybrid models (continuous in time, discrete in size, of Becker-Döring type)). Finally we will add some diffusion terms to describe the spread of the disease in the brain.
