Abstract:
The behavior of the summary activity is learned on the proposed model of neuronal net, taking into account the data of the neuronal interactions in Ca3 hippocampus. The summary activities existence of the own oscillations frequency, depending on the synaptic connection weights is found. The hypothesis of this phenomena role on the theta-activity genesis in the hippocampus is proposed. The change of own oscillations under the influence of the external rhythmic excitation, coming on the net is investigated.

Propagation of Action Potentials
Neurons (nerve cells) have a resting membrane potential, with a slightly negative charge inside compared to outside. This is maintained by ion channels, such as sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) channels, which control the flow of ions. When a stimulus, like a touch or a signal from another neuron, triggers the neuron, sodium channels open, allowing sodium ions to...
Neural Circuits
Neuronal pools are collections of nerve cells with similar functions and interact through chemical and electrical signals. These pools include both interneurons (the central neural circuit nodes that...
