The human brain is able to integrate a myriad of information in an enormous and massively parallel network of neurons that are divided into functionally specialized regions such as the visual cortex, auditory cortex, or dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Each of these regions participates as a context-dependent, self-organized, and transient subnetwork, which is shifted by changes in attention eve...

the dynamical behaviour of the forced escape oscillator, which depends on the parameter values we considered, have been studied numerically using the techniques of phase portraits and poincar'{e} sections. also, we employed perturbation methods such as lindstedt's method to obtain the frequency-amplitude relation of escape oscillator.

in this work, quantitative structure-property relationship (qspr) approaches were used to predict the redox potential of 42 phenolic antioxidants. the structures of all compounds optimized by the am1 semi-empirical method and then a large number of molecular descriptors were calculated for each compound in the data set. subsequently, stepwise multilinear regression was applied to select the mos...

Synchronization plays an important role in neural signal processing and transmission. Many hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of neural synchronization. In recent years, correlated noise-induced synchronization has received support from many theoretical and experimental studies. However, many of these prior studies have assumed that neurons have identical biophysical properties...

Conduction time is typically ignored in computational models of neural network function. Here we consider the effects of conduction delays on the synchrony of neuronal activity and neural oscillators, and evaluate the consequences of allowing conduction velocity (CV) to be regulated adaptively. We propose that CV variation, mediated by myelin, could provide an important mechanism of activity-de...

When food is restricted to a few hours daily, animals increase their locomotor activity 2-3 h before food access, which has been termed food anticipatory activity. Food entrainment has been linked to the expression of a circadian food-entrained oscillator (FEO) and the anatomic substrate of this oscillator seems to depend on diverse neural systems and peripheral organs. Previously, we have desc...

The dynamics of a system comprising of two bilaterally coupled Gunn oscillators (BCGOs) has been examined using a circuit theoretic model of the Gunn oscillator (GO). The effects of coupling factors (kij ) between i-th and j-th oscillators on the frequency-range of synchronized operation and the magnitude of common frequency of oscillation have been examined semi-analytically and by numerical s...

The paper deals with influence of two-scale variations of parameters on the behavior of different dynamical systems. By two-scale we mean parameter oscillations occur in an alternating manner with large and small temporal gradient, on a typical period intervals. The shape of such parameter dependence resembles relaxation oscillations. Parametric instability is revealed under these conditions. W...

We analyze an oscillator associative memory with scattered natural frequencies in memory retrieval states by a statistical mechanical method based on the SCSNA and the Sakaguchi-Kuramoto theory. The system with infinite stored patterns has a frustration on the synaptic weights. In addition, it is numerically shown that almost all oscillators synchronize under memory retrieval, but desynchronize...
