A Model for Evolutionary Structural Plasticity and Synchronization of a Network of Neurons

Figure 1

The construction process of the structural network, using the domains that restrict the motion of the vector (3) for each neuron, from a real network of neurons. (a) Pyramidal cells: they are characteristic of the olfactory cortex of man, resident in the piriform lobe, and the hippocampal gyrus, Ramon y Cajal [33]. (b) Representation of the neural ramification and its connections, in the structural network, through the spatial periodic domains and their overlaps. (c) The resulting structural network modeled using the overlap (links) of the domains (numbered nodes).
