Abstract
In this chapter we review some mathematical aspects of FitzHugh–Nagumo systems of ordinary differential equations or partial differential equations. Our treatment is probabilistic. We focus on small noise asymptotics for these systems and their stochastic perturbations. The noise is either an external perturbation or already present when the system involves spatial propagation.
