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 …

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 …

Predicting the spatiotemporal diversity of seizure propagation and termination in human focal epilepsy

T Proix, VK Jirsa, F Bartolomei, M Guye… - Nature …, 2018 - nature.com
Recent studies have shown that seizures can spread and terminate across brain areas via a
rich diversity of spatiotemporal patterns. In particular, while the location of the seizure onset …

Role of delays in shaping spatiotemporal dynamics of neuronal activity in large networks

A Roxin, N Brunel, D Hansel - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
We study the effect of delays on the dynamics of large networks of neurons. We show that
delays give rise to a wealth of bifurcations and to a rich phase diagram, which includes …

Multiple bumps in a neuronal model of working memory

CR Laing, WC Troy, B Gutkin, GB Ermentrout - SIAM Journal on Applied …, 2002 - SIAM
We study a partial integro-differential equation defined on a spatially extended domain that
arises from the modeling of" working" or short-term memory in a neuronal network. The …

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 …

Large-scale neural dynamics: simple and complex

S Coombes - NeuroImage, 2010 - Elsevier
We review the use of neural field models for modelling the brain at the large scales
necessary for interpreting EEG, fMRI, MEG and optical imaging data. Albeit a framework that …

PDE methods for nonlocal models

CR Laing, WC Troy - SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2003 - SIAM
We develop partial differential equation (PDE) methods to study the dynamics of pattern
formation in partial integro-differential equations (PIDEs) defined on a spatially extended …

Onset of polyspike complexes in a mean-field model of human electroencephalography and its application to absence epilepsy

F Marten, S Rodrigues, O Benjamin… - … of the Royal …, 2009 - royalsocietypublishing.org
In this paper, we introduce a modification of a mean-field model used to describe the brain's
electrical activity as recorded via electroencephalography (EEG). The focus of the present …

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 …
