Epileptiform Activity Patterns in Coupled Neuronal Networks
We evaluate occurrence of seizure-like activity in computational network models based on the histology of mammalian cortex. In the simulations, seizure onset activity in a network (active patch) is connected to a larger patch of cells (passive patch). The following scenarios were investigated: (1) the activeand passive patches are contiguous with all connectivity intact; (2) active and passive ...
متن کاملRepetitive low-frequency stimulation reduces epileptiform synchronization in limbic neuronal networks.
Deep-brain electrical or transcranial magnetic stimulation may represent a therapeutic tool for controlling seizures in patients presenting with epileptic disorders resistant to antiepileptic drugs. In keeping with this clinical evidence, we have reported that repetitive electrical stimuli delivered at approximately 1 Hz in mouse hippocampus-entorhinal cortex (EC) slices depress the EC ability ...
متن کاملNeuronal oscillations in cortical networks.
Clocks tick, bridges and skyscrapers vibrate, neuronal networks oscillate. Are neuronal oscillations an inevitable by-product, similar to bridge vibrations, or an essential part of the brain's design? Mammalian cortical neurons form behavior-dependent oscillating networks of various sizes, which span five orders of magnitude in frequency. These oscillations are phylogenetically preserved, sugge...
متن کاملCortical neuronal mechanisms of sleep homeostasis.
The longer we are awake, the deeper is our subsequent sleep. On the other hand, the shorter and more fragmented is our sleep, the more difficult it is for us to maintain wakefulness and stable cognitive performance the next day. This relationship between wakefulness and subsequent sleep becomes especially apparent after sleep deprivation or during chronic sleep restriction, which is experienced...
متن کاملSynchronization-based Parameter Estimation of Neuronal Networks
We study automated parameter searches on single neurons and two cell networks. In order to get round the effects of unknown initial conditions we focus on methods that are based on synchronization of the dynamical system to observed time series. The parameters are estimated with a slow dynamic equation that converges to the best value of the parameter. As this implementation does not require re...
