Gz. Yao et al., CONNECTION ENSEMBLE MODEL OF LOCAL NEURAL CIRCUITS, Science in China. Series B, Chemistry, life sciences & earth sciences, 37(10), 1994, pp. 1198-1207
A connection ensemble model (CEM) of local neural circuits in central
nervous system (CNS) is proposed in this work. Neuronal interactions a
re investigated at two levels, i. e. the synaptic connection between s
ingle neurons and the macro-connections between different neuronal gro
ups. The efficacy of macro-connection is quantitatively determined by
the efficacies of constituent synapses, and is asymptotically stable.
This model provides a reasonable description for the functional invari
ance of local neural circuits with structural diversities, which is a
widely observed fact in neurobiology. It is expected that the works in
CEM model would enrich the current research in neural dynamics.
