Description

In this thesis we construct a population model of the thalamus based on the mean-field cortex developed by Steyn-Ross et al. and Liley et al. We allow interactions between the thalamus and cortex via damped wave equations and show spindle-like oscillations (10-15 Hz) propagating from the thalamic reticular population into the cortical populations. We first consider a mean-field model of a cortex that is isolated from time-dependent sub-cortical inputs. The model is a continuum theory based ...
