Major Problem in reconstruction of sparse networks
The system is severely under-constrained as there are typically far more model parameters than there is experimental data D.

Result: Above a minimum number Mmin of measurements and with a maximum number kC of non-zeros the reconstruction is perfect. Mmin is much smaller than in L2-regression, Mmin and kC depend on N.

MYOCYTE CELL MODELS
1. Single Myocyte cell models are simplified mathematical-computational models that exhibit specific properties of the myocyte. > 30 years of myocyte models from Hodgkin-Huxley to Hund-Rudy
2. These are phenomenological/heuristic models, build bottom-up and but extremely well validated.
3. But still they are simplifications that can not account for many observed phenomena, e.g. beat-to-beat instability
4. Central in function of the myocyte model are the ION-CHANNELS (just as in neurons)

COMPLEXITY RESEARCH
The emergence of synchronization and self-organization on the heart
Principal research-question :
To understand and predict observed complex macroscopic electrophysiological phenomena (instability, synchronization, memory) in and on the heart in terms of their constituent microscopic (molecular, genetic, cellular) processes.
![Page 28: 1 Research in the Biomathematics and Bioinformatics group of Maastricht University Ronald Westra Department of Knowledge Engineering Maastricht University](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081520/56649ee75503460f94bf7ea2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

COMPLEXITY RESEARCH
The emergence of synchronization and self-organization on the heart
Secondary research-objectives
1: temporal electrophysiological variability and transition to instability in the single cardiac myocyte;
2: formation of deterministic chaos, and the self-organization –or breakdown–of synchronization;
3: understand ‘Long-Term-Cardiac-Memory’( LTCM) as emergent property of microscopic processes (including the genetic pathways).

2. Long-Term Cardiac Memory
LTCM is an learned change of the propagation induced by a temporarily altered activation .
It involves the CREB-genes, which also have a well-documented role in neuronal plasticity and long-term memory formation in the brain

RELATION GENETIC CONDITIONS AND CARDIOPATHOLOGY
Certain known cardio-pathologies relate to genetic dispositions. Currently we study the relation between the V341A mutation in the KCNQ1 gene that codes for the IKS channel and causes a severe long QT syndrome.
