Dynamic models of large-scale brain activity

M Breakspear - Nature neuroscience, 2017 - nature.com
Movement, cognition and perception arise from the collective activity of neurons within
cortical circuits and across large-scale systems of the brain. While the causes of single …

Dynamics of large-scale electrophysiological networks: A technical review

GC O'Neill, P Tewarie, D Vidaurre, L Liuzzi… - NeuroImage, 2018 - Elsevier
For several years it has been argued that neural synchronisation is crucial for cognition. The
idea that synchronised temporal patterns between different neural groups carries …

Firing rate equations require a spike synchrony mechanism to correctly describe fast oscillations in inhibitory networks

F Devalle, A Roxin, E Montbrió - PLoS computational biology, 2017 - journals.plos.org
Recurrently coupled networks of inhibitory neurons robustly generate oscillations in the
gamma band. Nonetheless, the corresponding Wilson-Cowan type firing rate equation for …

Modeling fast and slow gamma oscillations with interneurons of different subtype

S Keeley, AA Fenton, J Rinzel - Journal of neurophysiology, 2017 - journals.physiology.org
Experimental and theoretical studies demonstrate that neuronal gamma oscillations crucially
depend on interneurons, but current models do not consider the diversity of known …

A stochastic version of the Jansen and Rit neural mass model: Analysis and numerics

M Ableidinger, E Buckwar, H Hinterleitner - The Journal of Mathematical …, 2017 - Springer
Neural mass models provide a useful framework for modelling mesoscopic neural dynamics
and in this article we consider the Jansen and Rit neural mass model (JR-NMM). We …

The dynamics of networks of identical theta neurons

CR Laing - The Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience, 2018 - Springer
We consider finite and infinite all-to-all coupled networks of identical theta neurons. Two
types of synaptic interactions are investigated: instantaneous and delayed (via first-order …

Ott-Antonsen attractiveness for parameter-dependent oscillatory systems

B Pietras, A Daffertshofer - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of …, 2016 - pubs.aip.org
The Ott-Antonsen (OA) ansatz [Ott and Antonsen, Chaos 18, 037113 (2008); Chaos 19,
023117 (2009)] has been widely used to describe large systems of coupled phase …

Decreased coherence in the model of the dorsal visual pathway associated with Alzheimer's disease

SL Yan, XL Yang, H Yang, ZK Sun - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
Decreased coherence in electroencephalogram (EEG) has been reported in Alzheimer's
disease (AD) experimentally, which could be considered as a typical electrophysiological …

Chimeras in two-dimensional domains: heterogeneity and the continuum limit

CR Laing - SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems, 2017 - SIAM
We consider three different two-dimensional networks of nonlocally coupled heterogeneous
phase oscillators. These networks were previously studied with identical oscillators, and a …

Phase oscillator network models of brain dynamics

CR Laing - Computational models of brain and behavior, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Networks of periodically firing neurons can be modelled as networks of coupled phase
oscillators, each oscillator being described by a single angular variable. Networks of two …
