Propagating Neuronal Discharges in Neocortical Slices: Computational and Experimental Study

Abstract: We studied the propagation of paroxysmal discharges in disinhibited neocortical slices by developing and analyzing a model of excitatory regular-spiking neocortical cells with spatially decaying synaptic efficacies and by field potential recording in rat slices. Evoked discharges may propagate both in the model and in the experiment. The model discharge propagates as a traveling pulse with constant velocity and shape. The discharge shape is determined by an interplay between the synaptic driving force and the … Show more

“…We also establish that for fast solitary waves the velocity scales as some power of the synaptic strength g with c 0 ∼ √ g for synaptic delays and c 0 ∼ g 2 for dendritic delays. This suggests that the approximately linear relationship observed experimentally (Golomb and Amitai 1997) might arise from some combination of these two aspects.…”

“…Second, it establishes that the velocity of a wave is approximately independent of wavelength (at least for long wavelength solutions). This is at least suggestive of the approximate velocity-independence of the various discharge patterns observed in more detailed computational models (Golomb and Amitai 1997). As highlighted by Ermentrout (1998), a major unsolved problem is the detailed nature of the effects of re-excitation on wave propagation.…”
