title: General anesthetic-induced seizures can be explained by a mean-field model of cortical dynamics

authors: Wilson, Marcus T.

subjects: nervous system diseases

abstract: In this article, we describe a mathematical model of cerebral cortical function (the so-called mean-field model). We conclude that the technique of mean-field modelling of the cerebral cortex is able to explain parsimoniously and elegantly a constellation of counterintuitive neuropharmacologic experimental data.

(Kava, or ‘the plant of the gods’, grows widely across tropical Moananuiākea (the Pacific). Used in traditional medicine, its roots are also pounded and strained through water to make a drink with relaxant effects. Kava has deep cultural significance, but because it is drunk in large quantities over several hours, concerns have been raised about its effects on driver safety. Dr ‘Apo’ Aporosa, a Research Fellow at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, has studied the impact of traditional kava use on cognition and its implications for driver fitness. The findings of that research are presented here in the Fijian language.)
