Abstract

To accomplish a task, the brain works like a synchronized neuronal network where all the involved neurons work together. When a lesion spreads in the brain, depending on its evolution, it can reach a significant portion of relevant area. As a consequence, a phase transition might occur: the neurons desynchronize and cannot perform a certain task anymore. Lesions are responsible for either disrupting the neuronal connections or, in some cases, for killing the neuron. In this work, we will use a simplified model of neuronal network to show that these two types of lesions cause different types of desynchronization.

全局耦合神经元病变引起的两种不同的去同步过程

为了完成一项任务，大脑就像一个同步的神经网络，所有相关的神经元都在一起工作。当病变在大脑中扩散时，根据其演变，它可以到达相关区域的很大一部分。结果，可能会发生相变:神经元不同步，不能再执行某项任务。病变要么破坏神经元连接，要么在某些情况下杀死神经元。在这项工作中，我们将使用一个简化的神经网络模型来显示这两种类型的病变导致不同类型的去同步。收稿日期:2014年11月20日，收稿日期:2015年3月10日;编辑:C. A. Condat, G. J. Sibona;本文由Fabiano A. S. Ferrari, Ricardo L. Viana撰写，采用知识共享署名许可3.0协议。

期刊介绍： Papers in Physics publishes original research in all areas of physics and its interface with other subjects. The scope includes, but is not limited to, physics of particles and fields, condensed matter, relativity and gravitation, nuclear physics, physics of fluids, biophysics, econophysics, chemical physics, statistical mechanics, soft condensed matter, materials science, mathematical physics and general physics. Contributions in the areas of foundations of physics, history of physics and physics education are not considered for publication. Articles published in Papers in Physics contain substantial new results and ideas that advance the state of physics in a non-trivial way. Articles are strictly reviewed by specialists prior to publication. Papers in Physics highlights outstanding articles published in the journal through the Editors'' choice section. Papers in Physics offers two distinct editorial treatments to articles from which authors can choose. In Traditional Review, manuscripts are submitted to anonymous reviewers seeking constructive criticism and editors make a decision on whether publication is appropriate. In Open Review, manuscripts are sent to reviewers. If the paper is considered original and technically sound, the article, the reviewer''s comments and the author''s reply are published alongside the names of all involved. This way, Papers in Physics promotes the open discussion of controversies among specialists that are of help to the reader and to the transparency of the editorial process. Moreover, our reviewers receive their due recognition by publishing a recorded citable report. Papers in Physics publishes Commentaries from the reviewer(s) if major disagreements remain after exchange with the authors or if a different insight proposed is considered valuable for the readers.
