Abstract

Nonperiodical sustained fluctuations of electrical potential are characteristic of the rhythms of cortical electric activities. A nonperiodical negatively or positively damped oscillation would be a general solution of any first order linear system of differential equations. Attention is called to a somewhat specialized type of a system of ordinary linear differential equations, which are used by Vito Volterra (Lecons Sur la Theorie Mathematique de la Lutte Pour la Vie, Paris, Gauthier-Villars, 1931) in his theory of interdevouring species. This system of linear equations leads to nonperiodicalundamped oscillations and admits several plausible interpretations in terms of possible biophysical reactions in the brain. A number of new problems is posed and discussed by this study.
