Journal Article
Forrester, M., Crofts, J. J., Sotiropoulos, S. N., Coombes, S., & O'Dea, R. D. (2020). The role of node dynamics in shaping emergent functional connectivity patterns in the brain. Network Neuroscience, 4(2), 467-483. https://doi.org/10.1162/netn_a_00130

© 2020 Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The contribution of structural connectivity to functional brain states remains poorly understood. We present a mathematical and computational study suited to assess the structure–function issue, treating...

Quasicrystal patterns in a neural field model (2020)
Journal Article
Gökçe, A., Coombes, S., & Avitabile, D. (2020). Quasicrystal patterns in a neural field model. Physical Review Research, 2(1), Article 013234. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevResearch.2.013234

Doubly periodic patterns in planar neural field models have been extensively studied since the 1970s for their role in explaining geometric visual hallucinations. The study of activity patterns that lack translation invariance has received little, if... Read More about Quasicrystal patterns in a neural field model.

Calcium buffers and L-type calcium channels as modulators of cardiac subcellular alternans (2020)
Journal Article
Lai, Y. M., Coombes, S., & Thul, R. (2020). Calcium buffers and L-type calcium channels as modulators of cardiac subcellular alternans. Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation, 85, Article 105181. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cnsns.2020.105181

In cardiac myocytes, calcium cycling links the dynamics of the membrane potential to the activation of the contractile filaments. Perturbations of the calcium signalling toolkit have been demonstrated to disrupt this connection and lead to numerous p...

Brain-wave equation incorporating axodendritic connectivity (2020)
Journal Article
Ross, J., Margetts, M., Bojak, I., Nicks, R., Avitabile, D., & Coombes, S. (2020). Brain-wave equation incorporating axodendritic connectivity. Physical Review E, 101(2), Article 022411. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.101.022411

©2020 American Physical Society. We introduce an integral model of a two-dimensional neural field that includes a third dimension representing space along a dendritic tree that can incorporate realistic patterns of axodendritic connectivity. For natu... Read More about Brain-wave equation incorporating axodendritic connectivity.
