Network bistability mediates spontaneous transitions between normal and pathological brain states.
Little is known about how cortical networks support the emergence of remarkably different activity patterns. Physiological activity interspersed with epochs of pathological hyperactivity in the epileptic brain represents a clinically relevant yet poorly understood case of such rich dynamic repertoire. Using a realistic computational model, we demonstrate that physiological sparse and pathologic...
متن کاملStochastic simulations of genetic switch systems.
Genetic switch systems with mutual repression of two transcription factors are studied using deterministic methods (rate equations) and stochastic methods (the master equation and Monte Carlo simulations). These systems exhibit bistability, namely two stable states such that spontaneous transitions between them are rare. Induced transitions may take place as a result of an external stimulus. We...
متن کاملRandom graph theory and neuropercolation for modeling brain oscillations at criticality.
Mathematical approaches are reviewed to interpret intermittent singular space-time dynamics observed in brain imaging experiments. The following aspects of brain dynamics are considered: nonlinear dynamics (chaos), phase transitions, and criticality. Probabilistic cellular automata and random graph models are described, which develop equations for the probability distributions of macroscopic st...
متن کاملThe dynamical balance of the brain at rest.
The authors review evidence that spontaneous, that is, not stimulus or task driven, activity in the brain at the level of large-scale neural systems is not noise, but orderly and organized in a series of functional networks that maintain, at all times, a high level of coherence. These networks of spontaneous activity correlation or resting state networks (RSN) are closely related to the underly...
متن کاملMembrane potential bistability is controlled by the hyperpolarization-activated current I(H) in rat cerebellar Purkinje neurons in vitro.
We investigated the role of the hyperpolarization-activated mixed cation current, I(H), in the control of spontaneous action potential firing of rat cerebellar Purkinje neurons in brain slices. Extracellular recordings revealed that the continual action potential firing of Purkinje neurons was disrupted by the pharmacological blockade of I(H). Blockade of I(H) revealed spontaneous transitions b...
