Spatiotemporal dynamics of continuum neural fields

PC Bressloff - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We survey recent analytical approaches to studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of
continuum neural fields. Neural fields model the large-scale dynamics of spatially structured …

Does the brain behave like a (complex) network? I. Dynamics

D Papo, JM Buldú - Physics of life reviews, 2024 - Elsevier
Graph theory is now becoming a standard tool in system-level neuroscience. However,
endowing observed brain anatomy and dynamics with a complex network structure does not …

Waves in neural media

PC Bressloff - Lecture notes on mathematical modelling in the life …, 2014 - Springer
This is a book on mathematical neuroscience, in which the unifying theme is wavelike
phenomena at multiple spatial and temporal scales. There are already several excellent …

Wandering bumps in stochastic neural fields

ZP Kilpatrick, B Ermentrout - SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2013 - SIAM
We study the effects of noise on stationary pulse solutions (bumps) in spatially extended
neural fields. The dynamics of a neural field is described by an integrodifferential equation …

Effects of synaptic depression and adaptation on spatiotemporal dynamics of an excitatory neuronal network

ZP Kilpatrick, PC Bressloff - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2010 - Elsevier
We analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of a system of integro-differential equations that
describes a one-dimensional excitatory neuronal network with synaptic depression and …

Local/global analysis of the stationary solutions of some neural field equations

R Veltz, O Faugeras - SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2010 - SIAM
Neural or cortical fields are continuous assemblies of mesoscopic models, also called
neural masses, of neural populations that are fundamental in the modeling of macroscopic …

Neural field model of binocular rivalry waves

PC Bressloff, PC Bressloff - Waves in Neural Media: From Single Neurons …, 2014 - Springer
In this chapter, neural field theory is used to model binocular rivalry waves. During binocular
rivalry, visual perception switches back and forth between different images presented to the …

Topology, cross-frequency, and same-frequency band interactions shape the generation of phase-amplitude coupling in a neural mass model of a cortical column

RC Sotero - PLoS computational biology, 2016 - journals.plos.org
Phase-amplitude coupling (PAC), a type of cross-frequency coupling (CFC) where the
phase of a low-frequency rhythm modulates the amplitude of a higher frequency, is …

Functional architecture of M1 cells encoding movement direction

C Mazzetti, A Sarti, G Citti - Journal of Computational Neuroscience, 2023 - Springer
In this paper we propose a neurogeometrical model of the behaviour of cells of the arm area
of the primary motor cortex (M1). We will mathematically express as a fiber bundle the …

The constitution of visual perceptual units in the functional architecture of V1

A Sarti, G Citti - Journal of computational neuroscience, 2015 - Springer
In this paper we show that the emergence of perceptual units in V1 can be explained in
terms of a physical mechanism of simmetry breaking of the mean field neural equation. We …
