Synchronization and desynchronization in epilepsy: controversies and hypotheses

P Jiruska, M De Curtis, JGR Jefferys… - The Journal of …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Epilepsy has been historically seen as a functional brain disorder associated with excessive
synchronization of large neuronal populations leading to a hypersynchronous state. Recent …

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 …

Chimera states in a multilayer network of coupled and uncoupled neurons

S Majhi, M Perc, D Ghosh - Chaos: an interdisciplinary journal of …, 2017 - pubs.aip.org
We study the emergence of chimera states in a multilayer neuronal network, where one
layer is composed of coupled and the other layer of uncoupled neurons. Through the …

Turning on and off recurrent balanced cortical activity

Y Shu, A Hasenstaub, DA McCormick - Nature, 2003 - nature.com
The vast majority of synaptic connections onto neurons in the cerebral cortex arise from
other cortical neurons, both excitatory and inhibitory, forming local and distant …

Neocortical network activity in vivo is generated through a dynamic balance of excitation and inhibition

B Haider, A Duque, AR Hasenstaub… - Journal of …, 2006 - jneurosci.org
The recurrent excitatory and inhibitory connections between and within layers of the cerebral
cortex are fundamental to the operation of local cortical circuits. Models of cortical function …

Central thalamic contributions to arousal regulation and neurological disorders of consciousness

ND Schiff - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
This review focuses on the contributions of the central thalamus to normal mechanisms of
arousal regulation and to neurological disorders of consciousness. Forebrain arousal is …

Neural network dynamics

TP Vogels, K Rajan, LF Abbott - Annu. Rev. Neurosci., 2005 - annualreviews.org
Neural network modeling is often concerned with stimulus-driven responses, but most of the
activity in the brain is internally generated. Here, we review network models of internally …

Waves, bumps, and patterns in neural field theories

S Coombes - Biological cybernetics, 2005 - Springer
Neural field models of firing rate activity have had a major impact in hel** to develop an
understanding of the dynamics seen in brain slice preparations. These models typically take …

A spiking neuron model for binocular rivalry

CR Laing, CC Chow - Journal of computational neuroscience, 2002 - Springer
We present a biologically plausible model of binocular rivalry consisting of a network of
Hodgkin-Huxley type neurons. Our model accounts for the experimentally and …

Basic mechanisms for graded persistent activity: discrete attractors, continuous attractors, and dynamic representations

CD Brody, R Romo, A Kepecs - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2003 - Elsevier
Persistent neural activity is observed in many systems, and is thought to be a neural
substrate for holding memories over time delays of a few seconds. Recent work has …
