Chaos in memory function of sleep: A nonlinear dynamical analysis in thalamocortical study

Studying the dynamical behaviors of neuronal models may help in better understanding of real nervous system. In addition, it can help researchers to understand some specific phenomena in neuronal system. The thalamocortical network is made of neurons in the thalamus and cortex. In it, the memory function is consolidated in sleep by creating up and down state oscillations (1 Hz) and fast (13–17 Hz) – slow (8–12 Hz) spindles. Recently, a nonlinear...
