Simulation of Spread and Control of Lesions in Brain
Figure 1
Time course of damages to the system by the pathological and programmed cell death processes. The first column of panels shows, separately, the instantaneous damages due to both the processes; dotted lines with asterisks indicate the damages due to the pathological process, and bold lines with filled circles indicate damages due to programmed cell death. The second column of panels shows the cumulative damages with time. Again, the damages effected through both the processes have been separately shown (same symbols as earlier), as also the sum total damages to the system (square symbol). The last column of panels (color online) show the state of the network at the end of the simulations; the dotted lines indicate healthy edges (axons), full (blue) lines indicate edges damaged due to programmed cell death, and dark (red) lines indicate edges damaged due to the pathological process. For all the panels, and , while the values, for each row, top to bottom, are 0.2, 0.8, and 1.5, respectively.
