dc.description.abstract | There is growing interest in the impact of electrical fields generated in the
brain. Transmembrane ionic currents originate electric fields in the extracellular
space and are capable of affecting nearby neurons, a phenomenon called ephatic
communication. In the present work, the Quadratic Integrate-and-Fire model was
adapted to include the ephatic coupling behavior and its results were compared
to the empirical results. Therefore, the analysis tools were divided according to
the neuronal activity regime. For the subthreshold regime, circular statistics were
used to describe the phase differences between the stimulus signal and the modeled
membrane response; In the suprathreshold regime, the Population Vector and Spike
Field Coherence were used to estimate phase preferences and the coupling intensity
between the stimulus and the spikes of the model. The subthreshold phase difference was sensitive to the characteristic membrane response time, as well as the
frequency of the stimulus given to the model. On the other hand, the intensity of the
coupling between spikes and stimulus was sensitive to the intensity of noise added
to the stimulus signal and also to the stimulus frequency. The preferential phase of
spikes are sensitive, according to the model, only to the stimulus frequency. Such
results are consistent with the results observed in empirical experiments on ephatic
neuronal coupling. It was observed that the Quadratic Integrate-e-Fire model with
ephatic coupling is able to successfully model this neuronal communication. Thus,
the model makes it possible to pursue further studies on the physiological importance of ephatic coupling in the brain, including significant implications for our
understanding of brain processing for neuroscience. | |
