Computer simulation of rhythmic oscillations in neuron pools

摘要: This paper describes computer simulation of 100 artificial neurons interconnected in mutually exciting random pools. The individual neuromimes include accommodation according to an extended version Hill's model and adaptation Kernell's model. main finding is that the constituent cells pools tend fire coordinated bursts these recur rhythmically. rate burst recurrence depends primarily on time constant recovery after-hyperpolarization conductance change although it may be slightly altered by average level background activity. It does not seem possible attribute salient slow rhythm observed rat mesencephalic reticular formation this mechanism, as matching data requires absurdly large values constant.
