Striking a balance global impact of the local regulation of excitatory-inhibitory balance in cortical networks

The study of complex systems has unraveled the basic principles underlying the emergence of collective behaviors in networks of interacting units. Following this framework, we suggest that excitatory-inhibitory balance is one of such principles in cortical networks. We start by revealing how balance...

We start by revealing how balanced excitatory-inhibitory interactions shape empirical functional networks and dynamics, especially at ultra-slow timescales.

Seguint aquests fonaments, en aquesta tesi suggerim que l’equilibri excitatori-inhibitori és un d’aquests principis a les xarxes corticals. Comencem revelant com l’equilibri de interaccions excitatòries-inhibitòries dona forma a les dinàmiques i xarxes funcionals empíriques, especialment a escales de temps ultra lentes. A continuació, demostrem el potencial de l’homeòstasi excitatòria-inhibitòria com a mecanisme d’auto-organització a través de l’estudi del seu paper en la re-emergència de les xarxes funcionals després de lesions, conciliant el coneixement empíric sobre la connectivitat i l’excitabilitat del cervell post-ictus. Finalment, demostrem com múltiples modes d’homeòstasi cooperen per donar suport a l’emergència de dinàmiques col·lectives metaestables, maximitzant la complexitat funcional en xarxes corticals. Així, els nostres resultats demostren que els beneficis de mantenir l’equilibri entre excitació i inhibició extravasen el nivell neuronal, sent una pec¸a clau en l’emergència de dinàmiques col·lectives en xarxes corticals de llarga escala.Programa de Doctorat en Tecnologies de la Informació i les ComunicacionsUniversitat Pompeu FabraVerschure, Paul F.M.J.Universitat Pompeu Fabra.
