Abstract

In a mathematical model we show that the dynamical multi-stability of a network of bursting subthalamic neurons, caused by synaptic plasticity, has strong impact on the stimulus-response properties when exposed to desynchronizing coordinated reset (CR) stimulation. Such stimuli can reliably shift the network from a stable state with pathological synchrony and connectivity to a stable desynchronized state with down-regulated connectivity.

  • The desynchronizing stimulation protocol is tested in two experimental setups: first, we studied longlasting effects of CR stimulation in rat hippocampal slice rendered epileptic by magnesium withdrawal
