Neurophysiological and computational principles of cortical rhythms in cognition

XJ Wang - Physiological reviews, 2010 - journals.physiology.org
Synchronous rhythms represent a core mechanism for sculpting temporal coordination of
neural activity in the brain-wide network. This review focuses on oscillations in the cerebral …

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 helping to develop an
understanding of the dynamics seen in brain slice preparations. These models typically take …

Neural networks as spatio-temporal pattern-forming systems

B Ermentrout - Reports on progress in physics, 1998 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract Models of neural networks are developed from a biological point of view. Small
networks are analysed using techniques from dynamical systems. The behaviour of spatially …

Time structure of the activity in neural network models

W Gerstner - Physical review E, 1995 - APS
Several neural network models in continuous time are reconsidered in the framework of a
general mean-field theory which is exact in the limit of a large and fully connected network …

Spatially structured activity in synaptically coupled neuronal networks: I. Traveling fronts and pulses

DJ Pinto, GB Ermentrout - SIAM journal on Applied Mathematics, 2001 - SIAM
We consider traveling front and pulse solutions to a system of integro-differential equations
used to describe the activity of synaptically coupled neuronal networks in a single spatial …

D Golomb, Y Amitai - Journal of neurophysiology, 1997 - journals.physiology.org
Golomb, David and Yael Amitai. Propagating neuronal discharges in neocortical slices:
computational and experimental study. J. Neurophysiol. 78: 1199–1211, 1997. We studied …

Breathing pulses in an excitatory neural network

SE Folias, PC Bressloff - SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2004 - SIAM
In this paper we show how a local inhomogeneous input can stabilize a stationary-pulse
solution in an excitatory neural network. A subsequent reduction of the input amplitude can …

Evans functions for integral neural field equations with Heaviside firing rate function

S Coombes, MR Owen - SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2004 - SIAM
In this paper we show how to construct the Evans function for traveling wave solutions of
integral neural field equations when the firing rate function is a Heaviside. This allows a …

Traveling fronts and wave propagation failure in an inhomogeneous neural network

PC Bressloff - Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 2001 - Elsevier
We use averaging and homogenization theory to study the propagation of traveling
wavefronts in an inhomogeneous excitable neural medium. Motivated by the functional …

The countermanding task revisited: fast stimulus detection is a key determinant of psychophysical performance

E Salinas, TR Stanford - Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 - Soc Neuroscience
The countermanding task is a standard method for assessing cognitive/inhibitory control
over action and for investigating its neural correlates. In it, the subject plans a movement and …
