Neural Field Theory and Brain Connectivity

Abstract/Description:
Spatially continuous cortical surface is composed of neural ensembles interconnected with a general connectivity embedded local homogeneous connectivity to nearest neighbors and global heterogeneous projections to distant areas. Interconnection delay and long-range connectivity in neural field models shows activity transfer via neural oscillation. Destabilization mechanism of two-point connected dynamical neural system with spatially variant connection topology as a control parameter leads to phase transition and macroscopic coherent spatiotemporal pattern formation of neural activity. Authors are intended to generalize this neural field dynamic to more realistic geometries such as a sphere.
