Response of a network of Thalamocortical relay neurons to oscillatory input. |
| Type of model |
Compartmental model based network model |
| Description |
I would like to investigate the response of a network of thalamocortical relay neurons to
oscillatory input. It has been observed that a single thalamocortical relay neuron possess
filtering properties. I would like to study how these filtering properties change for a
network of Thalamocortical relay neurons when different topologies and connectivity strengths
are used to create the network. |
| Why complementary |
I would like to create network models to study the Basal Ganglia.It is a challenging task
to expand a multi-compartmental single neuron model into a network model due to large
parameter space and computational limitations.From this project I would like to learn how to
create network models which still capture the main characteristics of the single neuron making
up the network model and reflect experimentally observed behaviour of the modelled nucleus
without exceeding computational limitations. |
