Brain dynamics through spectral-structural neuronal networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Starting from the morphological-functional assumption of the fractal brain, a mathematical model is given by activating brain’s non-differentiable dynamics through the determinism-nondeterminism inference of the responsible mechanisms. The postulation of a scale covariance principle in Schrödinger’s type representation of the brain geodesics implies the spectral functionality of the brain dynamics through mechanisms of tunelling, percolation etc., while in the hydrodynamical type representation, it implies their structural functionality through mechanisms of wave schock, solitons type etc. For external constraints proportional with the states density, the fluctuations of the brain stationary dynamics activate both the spectral neuronal networks and the structural ones through a mapping principle of two distinct classes of cnoidal oscillation modes. The spectral-structural compatibility of the neuronal networks generates the communication codes of algebraic type, while the same compatibility on the solitonic component induces a strange topology (the direct product of the spectral topology and the structural one) that is responsible of the quadruple law (for instance, the nucleotide base from the human DNA structure). Implications in the elucidation of some neuropsychological mechanisms (memory’s location and functioning, dementia etc.) are also presented. Keyword: communication languages; codes; brain; coherence; neuronal network.

Effects of structural perturbations on brain’s dynamics and the role of homeostatic plasticity in functional recovery
Neuroimaging methods like resting state fMRI and diffusion weighted tractography capture the large scale(macroscopic level) functional and structural connectivity between distant regions of the cortex. Using this data from healthy subjects, earlier studies have shown that structure and function are strongly correlated. In this thesis I have investigated the effects of structural perturbations o...
متن کاملComparison of functional connectivity between empirical and randomized structural brain networks
This study combines experimental and modeling approaches in order to investigate the temporal dynamics of the human brain at rest. The dynamics of the neuronal activity is modeled with FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators and the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) time series is inferred via the Balloon-Windkessel hemodynamic model. The simulations are based on structural connections that are derived f...
متن کاملCommunication on structure of biological networks
Networks are widely used to represent interaction pattern among the components in complex systems. Structures of real networks from different domains may vary quite significantly. Since there is an interplay between network architecture and dynamics, structure plays an important role in communication and information spreading on a network. Here we investigate the underlying undirected topology ...

This paper investigates the mechanism of water transportation through aquaporin-4(AQP4) of ratbrain cells by means of molecular dynamics simulation with CHARMM software. The AQP4 wasembedded into a bilayer made of Dimystroilphosphatylcholine (DMPC). The results illustrate thatwater molecules move through AQP4's channel with change of orientation of oxygen of eachwater molecule.

Unraveling the interplay between connectivity and spatio-temporal dynamics in neuronal networks is a key step to advance our understanding of neuronal information processing. Here we investigate how particular features of network connectivity underpin the propensity of neural networks to generate slow-switching assembly (SSA) dynamics, i.e., sustained epochs of increased firing within assemblie...
