Highlights
Focal epilepsy is characterized by the spread of seizure activity from pathological cortical tissue to other parts of the surrounding cortex and is typically diagnosed via the EEG [1]
The research described below will form the basis of a mathematical description of a mesoscopic network of cortical columns where the network dynamics will be examined as seizure-like behaviour spreads from a focal column to other columns
This study examines the dynamics of a network of neurons that approximate a single cortical column
Summary
Focal epilepsy is characterized by the spread of seizure activity from pathological cortical tissue (focus) to other parts of the surrounding cortex and is typically diagnosed via the EEG [1]. The research described below will form the basis of a mathematical description of a mesoscopic network of cortical columns where the network dynamics will be examined as seizure-like behaviour spreads from a focal (pathological) column to other columns. This study examines the dynamics of a network of neurons that approximate a single cortical column. Both the time series and power spectrum of the network are calculated and used to approximate the EEG signal of a cortical column
