A Mechanistic, Stochastic Model Helps Understand Multiple Sclerosis Course and Pathogenesis
Figure 6
Asymmetric potential as a function of the state variable . The asymmetry in the depth of the wells is obtained setting β ≠ 0 in (3). Here the effect of on the shape of the potential is illustrated for the same values of the control parameter used in Figure 5: (a) = 1 and (b) = 0.7. and are the barriers between () and , respectively. Dashed lines denote the upper and lower bounds of the potential barriers.
