  Multi-scale challenges in brain cellular metabolism
  Daniela Calvetti

  We present some recent work where how phenomena which occur at the microscopic scale are captured by macroscopic models which lack the fine resolution needed to describe them. This will be illustrated in the context of cellular brain energy metabolism by comparing a spatially distributed model with the capability to account for the proximity of blood vessels and diffusion, and a lumped model which assumes well mixed compartments.
