A model of cortical propagating waves

This lecture by Alain Destexhe presents a model of cortical propagating waves in the brain, focusing on the network of AI-state units, connectivity profiles, inhibition, and excitation. The lecture discusses the interaction between stimuli, response to apparent motion, and suppression mechanisms. Destexhe explains how the VSD signal is proportional to the subthreshold Vm of cortical cells, highlighting the inhibitory activity's impact on excitatory activity. The model obtained from the study displays propagating waves and their suppressive effects, providing insights into the conductance-based interactions between individual neurons.
