Wilson–Cowan Equations for Neocortical Dynamics
In 1972-1973 Wilson and Cowan introduced a mathematical model of the population dynamics of synaptically coupled excitatory and inhibitory neurons in the neocortex. The model dealt only with the mean numbers of activated and quiescent excitatory and inhibitory neurons, and said nothing about fluctuations and correlations of such activity. However, in 1997 Ohira and Cowan, and then in 2007-2009 ...
متن کاملWilson-Cowan Model
The Wilson-Cowan model describes the evolution of excitatory and inhibitory activity in a synaptically coupled neuronal network. As opposed to being a detailed biophysical model, the system is a coarse-grained description of the overall activity of a large-scale neuronal network, employing just two differential equations. Key parameters in the model are the strength of connectivity between each...
متن کاملStochastic Wilson-Cowan models of neuronal network dynamics with memory and delay
We consider a simple Markovian class of the stochastic Wilson-Cowan type models of neuronal network dynamics, which incorporates stochastic delay caused by the existence of a refractory period of neurons. From the point of view of the dynamics of the individual elements, we are dealing with a network of non-Markovian stochastic two-state oscillators with memory which are coupled globally in a m...
متن کاملModeling Focal Epileptic Activity in the Wilson–Cowan Model with Depolarization Block
UNLABELLED Measurements of neuronal signals during human seizure activity and evoked epileptic activity in experimental models suggest that, in these pathological states, the individual nerve cells experience an activity driven depolarization block, i.e. they saturate. We examined the effect of such a saturation in the Wilson-Cowan formalism by adapting the nonlinear activation function; we sub...
متن کاملThe Wilson-Cowan model describes Contrast Response and Subjective Distortion
The Wilson-Cowan equations were originally proposed to describe the low-level dynamics of neural populations (Wilson&Cowan 1972). These equations have been extensively used in modelling the oscillations of cortical activity (Cowan et al. 2016). However, due to their low-level nature, very few works have attempted connections to higher level psychophysics (Herzog et al. 2003, Hermens et al. 2005...
