Anodal tDCS targeting the motor cortex alleviates symptoms in Parkinson's disease patients, but the regulatory mechanisms remain obscure, especially for parkinsonian β band (13–30 Hz) oscillations. To explore these regulatory mechanisms, we propose a more refined model of the cortex-thalamic-basal ganglia (CTBG) neuronal network, with the primary issue of elucidating the impact of cortical neurons, as targets of tDCS, on parkinsonian β oscillations. Through blocking pathways, β oscillations in basal ganglia propagate to cortex mainly through thalamocortical connections, supplemented by direct connections from Lim homeobox 6 globus pallidus externa to cortical neurons. Simulations of two scenarios that lead to abnormal intracortical β band firing suggest that intracortical β band firing in healthy state is insufficient to drive β oscillations in CTBG circuit. This emphasizes the cortex as a critical node for the propagation and enhancement of β oscillations in CTBG circuit. To reveal the intrinsic regulatory mechanism of tDCS, different tDCS strategies targeting cortical E neurons are further compared. Anodal tDCS disrupts the abnormal oscillatory activity in CTBG circuits by promoting the activity of cortical neurons and interrupting oscillation propagation. In addition, anodic tDCS can amplify rhythmic activity within the afferent cortex, thereby concealing pathological oscillations. These findings provide a theoretical basis for understanding the role of cortex in parkinsonian oscillations and provide a conceptual platform for theoretical testing of tDCS for clinical applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9764,"journal":{"name":"Chaos Solitons & Fractals","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142419299","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The CNN system is defined by space-invariant cloning templates and modeled as a fifth-order nonlinear system. Within the CNN system, non-symmetric double-wing chaotic attractors are exhibited, owing to the presence of two non-symmetric unstable equilibrium points, alongside one unstable equilibrium point located at the origin. Additionally, the paper delves into its nonlinear dynamics, ultimately determining that by adjusting the parameters of the memristor, the system exhibits chaotic and periodic attractors. Moreover, a locally sustained chaotic state is demonstrated across different initial conditions. The theoretical results are substantiated through circuit implementation. Furthermore, global fixed-time synchronization for the proposed CNN system with unmodeled dynamics and external disturbance is proposed by sliding mode control. The synchronization of the master–slave CNN system is achieved within a fixed converge time, independent on the initial conditions, and possesses a degree of robustness, as the synchronization times for CNNs with and without unmodeled dynamics and disturbances are nearly indistinguishable. The synchronization time can be manipulated by adjusting parameters of the sliding mode surface and the controller.

The collected vibration signals containing weak fault information are difficult to extract fault features due to the presence of strong background noise. Stochastic resonance (SR) is a signal processing method that can utilize noise to improve signal-to-noise ratio. However, SR mostly requires prior knowledge, such as the difficult to obtain bearing fault frequencies. A weighted piecewise bistable stochastic pooling network weak feature detection method based on a secondary optimization strategy is proposed in the paper. In the first layer of optimization, system parameters of each network unit are determined in the process of adaptive fault feature search based on Gini index. In the second layer of optimization, independent and identically distributed Gaussian white noise is added to each unit of the stochastic pooling network to enhance and extract weak signal features, and the unknown bearing fault types can be identified.

The one of them is the shape parameter of the Weibull distribution, which indicates uniformity in the material. The exponent of the response time distribution is also linked to the magnitude of the change rate in the information density and the non-extensivity of the information in the statistical manifold for the response time distribution.
