Abstract

A role for neural modeling in the study of brain disorders.

Highlights

  • In the past few decades, clinical research on brain disorders has become enriched by the addition of a number of new tools for characterizing and assessing brain function

  • In an article that reviews a variety of computational methods for characterizing functional brain connectivity from electrophysiological data, in the context of partial epilepsy, Wendling et al employ a physiologically plausible neural model to generate simulated data and illustrate how such modeling can be used to help interpret the experimental data

  • This Wendling et al study, along with some others (Horwitz et al, 1995; Schlosser et al, 2006; Husain, 2007; Alstott et al, 2009; Kim and Horwitz, 2009; van Albada et al, 2009; Rowe, 2010; Seghier et al, 2010), suggests that neural modeling may soon become a useful addition to the clinical research toolkit for investigating brain disorders

Introduction

In the past few decades, clinical research on brain disorders has become enriched by the addition of a number of new tools for characterizing and assessing brain function. In an article that reviews a variety of computational methods for characterizing functional brain connectivity from electrophysiological data, in the context of partial epilepsy, Wendling et al employ a physiologically plausible neural model to generate simulated data and illustrate how such modeling can be used to help interpret the experimental data.
