Spiral Wave Dynamics in Neocortex
Although spiral waves are ubiquitous features of nature and have been observed in many biological systems, their existence and potential function in mammalian cerebral cortex remain uncertain. Using voltage-sensitive dye imaging, we found that spiral waves occur frequently in the neocortex in vivo, both during pharmacologically induced oscillations and during sleep-like states. While their life...
متن کاملSpiral wave dynamics in oscillatory inhomogeneous media.
The effect of a long length scale static inhomogeneity on spiral wave dynamics is studied in the two-dimensional complex Ginzburg-Landau equation. We find that the inhomogeneity leads to the formation of a dominant spiral domain that suppresses other spiral domains, and that the spiral vortices slowly drift in the presence of an inhomogeneity with a velocity that is proportional to the local pa...
متن کاملElectric current control of spiral wave dynamics
The control of spiral wave parameters by electric current was investigated in the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. It was found that the wavelength and the period of spiral waves increase by a factor of up to 3 with electric current (both dc and ac). Using this procedure spiral waves with a period higher than the period of medium bulk oscillations were observed. It was also found that hyster...
متن کاملSpiral waves in disinhibited mammalian neocortex.
Spiral waves are a basic feature of excitable systems. Although such waves have been observed in a variety of biological systems, they have not been observed in the mammalian cortex during neuronal activity. Here, we report stable rotating spiral waves in rat neocortical slices visualized by voltage-sensitive dye imaging. Tissue from the occipital cortex (visual) was sectioned parallel to corti...
متن کاملHidden structures of information transport underlying spiral wave dynamics.
A spiral wave is a macroscopic dynamics of excitable media that plays an important role in several distinct systems, including the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, seizures in the brain, and lethal arrhythmia in the heart. Because the spiral wave dynamics can exhibit a wide spectrum of behaviors, its precise quantification can be challenging. Here we present a hybrid geometric and information-the...
