ELECTRICAL COUPLING AND NORMAL MODES OF OSCILLATION IN DENSE EXCITABLE CELLULAR STRUCTURES.
Abstract
An experimental study, largely using simple inorganic electrochemical models, of structural and electrical characteristics which lead, through the agency of electrical fields, to intercellular transmission of excitation or 'information' and to intrinsic oscillations (both sub- and suprathreshold) in dense arrays of both biological neurones and neuron-like data-processing elements as now being developed. Such periodic phenomena are presumed to have both physiological and pathological significance in (normal and abnormal) brain function, but are, as yet, only little understood. (Author)
