Critical Fluctuations and 1/f-Activity of Neural Fields Involving Transmission Delays

چکیده

This work studies the stability and the stochastic properties of neural activity evoked by external stimulation. The underlying nonlocal model describes the spatiotemporal response dynamics of neural populations involving both synaptic delay and axonal transmission delay. We show that the linear model recasts to a set of affine delay differential equations in spatial Fourier space. Besides a stability study for general kernels and general external stimulation, the power spectrum of evoked activity is derived analytically in the case of external Gaussian noise. Further applications to specific kernels reveal critical fluctuations at Hopfand Turing bifurcations and allow the numerical detection of 1/f-fluctuations near the stability threshold.

Markovian Delay Prediction-Based Control of Networked Systems

A new Markov-based method for real time prediction of network transmission time delays is introduced. The method considers a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural model for the transmission network, where the number of neurons in the input layer is minimized so that the required calculations are reduced and the method can be implemented in the real-time. For this purpose, the Markov process order...

Activity-Dependent Development of Axonal and Dendritic Delays, or, Why Synaptic Transmission Should Be Unreliable

Systematic temporal relations between single neuronal activities or population activities are ubiquitous in the brain. No experimental evidence, however, exists for a direct modification of neuronal delays during Hebbian-type stimulation protocols. We show that in fact an explicit delay adaptation is not needed if one assumes that the synaptic strengths are modified according to the recently ob...

Spatio-temporal instabilities in neural fields and the effects of additive noise

The spatio-temporal activity of neural populations is measured by various experimental techniques, such as optical sensitive-dye imaging [2], multi-unit Local Field Potentials [19] or electroencephalography [39]. Most of such experimentally observed activity results from the interaction of a large number of neurons [54]. Consequently to describe theoretically such experimental data the best mod...

Distributed Nonlocal Feedback Delays May Destabilize Fronts in Neural Fields, Distributed Transmission Delays Do Not

The spread of activity in neural populations is a well-known phenomenon. To understand the propagation speed and the stability of stationary fronts in neural populations, the present work considers a neural field model that involves intracortical and cortico-cortical synaptic interactions. This includes distributions of axonal transmission speeds and nonlocal feedback delays as well as general ...

Joint influence of leakage delays and proportional delays on almost periodic solutions for FCNNs

This paper deals with fuzzy cellular neural networks (FCNNs) with leakage delays and proportional delays. Applying the differential inequality strategy, fixed point theorem and almost periodic function principle, some sufficient criteria which ensure the existence and global attractivity of a unique almost periodic solution for fuzzy cellular neuralnetworks with leakage delays and p...
