SpikeFun - Single Neuron Stimulation Impact on Simulated Brain Network

Описание: Spiny-Stellate Cell (Layer IV), located in the visual cortex, is briefly stimulated in the SpikeFun cortical simulation by injecting brief current pulse in the simulated neuron. Current injection triggers a spike in the stimulated neuron. Before the induced spike, complete cortical network is intentionally switched "off" so the propagation of the single neuron activation could be seen.

As it could be seen from the video, as a result of the single-neuron stimulus different cortical areas are being activated - going as far as the frontal cortex.

Even though it was triggered by a single neuron, activity persists for about 2 seconds after the induced spike. External stimulation is performed only once.
