Partial Synchronization Of Biological Neural Networks And The Anesthetic Cascade
2015 54TH IEEE CONFERENCE ON DECISION AND CONTROL (CDC)(2015)
摘要
With the advances in biochemistry, molecular biology, and neurochemistry there has been impressive progress in understanding the molecular properties of anesthetic agents. However, there has been little focus on how the molecular properties of anesthetic agents lead to the observed macroscopic property that defines the anesthetic state, that is, lack of responsiveness to noxious stimuli. In this paper, we use dynamical system theory to develop a mechanistic model for neural activity to study the anesthetic cascade. Furthermore, we address the more general question of synchronization of neural activity without mean field assumptions. This is done by focusing on a postulated subset of inhibitory neurons that are not themselves connected to other inhibitory neurons. Finally, several numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the different aspects of the proposed theory.
