Topology identification and dynamical pattern recognition for Hindmarsh-Rose neuron model via deterministic learning

Studies have shown that Parkinson's, epilepsy and other brain deficits are closely related to the ability of neurons to synchronize with their neighbors. Therefore, the neurobiological mechanism and synchronization behavior of neurons has attracted much attention in recent years. In this contribution, it is numerically investigated the complex nonlinear behaviour of the Hindmarsh-Rose neuron system through the time responses, system bifurcation diagram and Lyapunov exponent under different system parameters. The system presents different and complex dynamic behaviors with the variation of parameter. Then, the identification of the nonlinear dynamics and topologies of the Hindmarsh-Rose neural networks under unknown dynamical environment is discussed. By using the deterministic learning algorithm, the unknown dynamics and topologies of the Hindmarsh-Rose system are locally accurately identified. Additionally, the identified system dynamics can be stored and represented in the form of constant neural networks due to the convergence of system parameters. Finally, based on the time-invariant representation of system dynamics, a fast dynamical pattern recognition method via system synchronization is constructed. The achievements of this work will provide more incentives and possibilities for biological experiments and medical treatment as well as other related clinical researches, such as the quantifying and explaining of neurobiological mechanism, early diagnosis, classification and control (treatment) of neurologic diseases, such as Parkinson's and epilepsy. Simulations are included to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Bidirectionally Regulating Gamma Oscillations in Wilson-Cowan Model by Self-Feedback Loops: A Computational Study

The Wilson-Cowan model can emulate gamma oscillations, and thus is extensively used to research the generation of gamma oscillations closely related to cognitive functions. Previous studies have revealed that excitatory and inhibitory inputs to the model can modulate its gamma oscillations. Inhibitory and excitatory self-feedback loops are important structural features of the model, however, its functional role in the regulation of gamma oscillations in the model is still unclear. In the present study, bifurcation analysis and spectrum analysis are employed to elucidate the regulating mechanism of gamma oscillations underlined by the inhibitory and excitatory self-feedback loops, especially how the two self-feedback loops cooperate to generate the gamma oscillations and regulate the oscillation frequency. The present results reveal that, on one hand, the inhibitory self-feedback loop is not conducive to the generation of gamma oscillations, and increased inhibitory self-feedback strength facilitates the enhancement of the oscillation frequency. On the other hand, the excitatory self-feedback loop promotes the generation of gamma oscillations, and increased excitatory self-feedback strength leads to the decrease of oscillation frequency. Finally, theoretical analysis is conducted to provide explain on how the two self-feedback loops play a crucial role in the generation and regulation of neural oscillations in the model. To sum up, Inhibitory and excitatory self-feedback loops play a complementary role in generating and regulating the gamma oscillation in Wilson-Cowan model, and cooperate to bidirectionally regulate the gamma-oscillation frequency in a more flexible manner. These results might provide testable hypotheses for future experimental research.
