چکیده
Action potential or Spikes: electrical pulses of an amplitude of about 100mV that travel along nerve fibers. Field potential an electrical signal recorded extracellularly which arises from the synchronized activity of many cells. Hippocampus one of the most studied area of the mammalian nervous system which is part of the limbic system and is involved in learning and memory. Neuron the main excitable cells of nerve tissue. Network an ensemble of synaptically connected cells. Synapse the specialized junction between two neurons where the action potential voltage transient in the presynaptic cell is transmitted to the post-synaptic cell via neurotransmitter release (chemical synapse) or direct electrical connection (electrical synapse).

Cooperative dynamics in neuronal networks
Article history: There exist rich cooperative behaviors and their transitions in biological neuronal systems as some key biological factors are changed. Among all of cooperative behaviors of neuronal systems, the existing experiments have shown that the spatiotemporal pattern and synchronization dynamics are very crucial, which are closely related to normal function and dysfunction of neuronal ...
متن کاملTransients, metastability, and neuronal dynamics.
This paper is about neuronal dynamics and how their special complexity can be understood in terms of nonlinear dynamics. There are many aspects of neuronal interactions and connectivity that engender the complexity of brain dynamics. In this paper we consider (i) the nature of this complexity and (ii) how it depends on connections between neuronal systems (e.g., neuronal populations or cortical...
متن کاملNeuronal long-range temporal correlations and avalanche dynamics are correlated with behavioral scaling laws.
Scale-free fluctuations are ubiquitous in behavioral performance and neuronal activity. In time scales from seconds to hundreds of seconds, psychophysical dynamics and the amplitude fluctuations of neuronal oscillations are governed by power-law-form long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs). In millisecond time scales, neuronal activity comprises cascade-like neuronal avalanches that exhibit po...

The development of new imaging and optogenetics techniques to study the dynamics of large neuronal circuits is generating datasets of unprecedented volume and complexity, demanding the development of appropriate analysis tools. We present a comprehensive computational workflow for the analysis of neuronal population calcium dynamics. The toolbox includes newly developed algorithms and interacti...
متن کاملThe Slow Dynamics of Intracellular Sodium Concentration Increase the Time Window of Neuronal Integration: A Simulation Study
Changes in intracellular Na+ concentration ([Na+]i) are rarely taken into account when neuronal activity is examined. As opposed to Ca2+, [Na+]i dynamics are strongly affected by longitudinal diffusion, and therefore they are governed by the morphological structure of the neurons, in addition to the localization of influx and efflux mechanisms. Here, we examined [Na+]i dynamics and their effect...
متن کاملRole of Mitochondrial Dynamics in Neuronal Development: Mechanism for Wolfram Syndrome
Deficiency of the protein Wolfram syndrome 1 (WFS1) is associated with multiple neurological and psychiatric abnormalities similar to those observed in pathologies showing alterations in mitochondrial dynamics. The aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that WFS1 deficiency affects neuronal function via mitochondrial abnormalities. We show that down-regulation of WFS1 in neurons leads ...
