Dynamics analysis on neural firing patterns by symbolic approach

Neural firing patterns are investigated by using symbolic dynamics. Bifurcation behaviour of the Hindmarsh--Rose (HR) neuronal model is simulated with the external stimuli gradually decreasing, and various firing activities with different topological structures are orderly numbered. Through constructing first-return maps of interspike intervals, all firing patterns are described and identified by symbolic expressions. On the basis of ordering rules of symbolic sequences, the corresponding relation between parameters and firing patterns is established, which will be helpful for encoding neural information. Moreover, using the operation rule of $\ast$ product, generation mechanisms and intrinsic configurations of periodic patterns can be distinguished in detail. Results show that the symbolic approach is a powerful tool to study neural firing activities. In particular, such a coarse-grained way can be generalized in neural electrophysiological experiments to extract much valuable information from complicated experimental data.

偏微分方程的区间小波自适应精细积分法

利用插值小波理论构造了拟Shannon区间小波,并结合外推法给出了一种求解非线性常微分方程组的时间步长自适应精细积分法,在此基础上构造了求解非线性偏微分方程的区间小波自适应精细积分法（AIWPIM）．数值结果表明,该方法在计算精度上优于将小波和四阶Runge-Kutta法组合得到的偏微分方程的数值求解方法,而计算量则相差不大．该文方法通过Burgers方程给出,但适用于一般情形．

Taming desynchronized bursting with delays in the Macaque cortical network

Inhibitory coupled bursting Hindmarsh-Rose neurons are considered as constitutive units of the Macaque cortical network. In the absence of information transmission delay the bursting activity is desynchronized,giving rise to spatiotemporally disordered dynamics. This paper shows that the introduction of finite delays can lead to the synchronization of bursting and thus to the emergence of coherent propagating fronts of excitation in the space-time domain. Moreover,it shows that the type of synchronous bursting is uniquely determined by the delay length,with the transitions from one type to the other occurring in a step-like manner depending on the delay. Interestingly,as the delay is tuned close to the transition points,the synchronization deteriorates,which implies the coexistence of different bursting attractors. These phenomena can be observed by different but fixed coupling strengths,thus indicating a new role for information transmission delays in realistic neuronal networks.
