| Abstract | The propagation of abnormal oscillations in actual neural tissue is often irregular and highly complex. The experiments and theoretical work on it are both very difficult; however, it can be helpful to understand some disorder in the neural system. With the help of microelectrode recording techniques and microdialysis, some experimental results from human beings and animal models have demonstrated that epileptic seizures can occur when either the external cellular environment of neurons is changed drastically from physiological conditions or when the synapses of neurons are extensively induced to release neurotransmitter or other neural signals. Here, we present a theoretical framework to investigate the gap junction's (electrical synapse) effect on the propagation of abnormal oscillations. Although such theoretical work is still very limited in explaining all the mechanistic problems related to the disorder situation, e.g., epilepsy, it is, nevertheless, helpful to our understanding of synaptic effects on the abnormal activity propagation. Now, from ionic channels to neural networks, a two-dimensional (2-D) spatial-temporal partial differential equation (PDE) is built. The implicit scheme of the finite-differential method in the time domain and a multistep algorithm are utilized to solve the PDE and the nonlinear ordinary differential equations, respectively, while the successive overrelaxation method is utilized to compute the large-scale sparse equations. Lyapunov exponent and approximate entropy are further applied, respectively, to the analysis of chaos and complexity in the propagation. Numerical results show that abnormal oscillations can propagate when the coupling strength of the gap junctions is sufficiently large, leading to turbulence in the excitable network, and that the larger the coupling strength is, the greater the nonlinear and the complexity of the propagation are. It is also concluded that the chaos and the complexity of the activity at the periphery point are larger than that at the central point when the abnormal oscillations propagate from the central to the periphery. This theoretical work is helpful to understand the gap junction's effects on the abnormal oscillation propagation in a 2-D excitable neural tissue. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
