Abstract:

Spatially coherent structures and propagating waves of neural activity are commonly found throughout the central nervous system. These activity profiles are represented in both natural and pathological phenomena. We explore a two-layer neural field model dually constrained by local interactions and a cortical topography described by a ring topology neural network. We examine the conditions for the generation of wave solutions. The constraints on neuronal network computation implied by the dual local constraints may place further constraints on global cortical network architecture to achieve physiologically consistent wave behavior.
