Inferring pathological states in cortical neuron microcircuits. (English) Zbl 1343.92091
Summary: The brain activity is to a large extent determined by states of neural cortex microcircuits. Unfortunately, accuracy of results from neural circuits’ mathematical models is often biased by the presence of uncertainties in underlying experimental data. Moreover, due to problems with uncertainties identification in a multidimensional parameters space, it is almost impossible to classify states of the neural cortex, which correspond to a particular set of the parameters. Here, we develop a complete methodology for determining uncertainties and the novel protocol for classifying all states in any neuroinformatic model. Further, we test this protocol on the mathematical, nonlinear model of such a microcircuit developed by M. Giugliano et al. [Biol. Cybern. 99, No. 4–5, 303–318 (2008; Zbl 1161.92008)] and applied in the experimental data analysis of Huntington’s disease. Up to now, the link between parameter domains in the mathematical model of Huntington’s disease and the pathological states in cortical microcircuits has remained unclear. In this paper we precisely identify all the uncertainties, the most crucial input parameters and domains that drive the system into an unhealthy state. The scheme proposed here is general and can be easily applied to other mathematical models of biological phenomena.
