The emergence of second-generation neural mass models
Neural mass models provide a physiologically grounded description of the average synaptic activity and firing rate of neural populations. First developed in the 1970s, these models are increasingly used for both local and whole-brain modeling in, e.g., epilepsy (Wendling et…
Modern History of Neuroscience
A few months ago I wrote “The Unknown History of Brain Science” in which I briefly covered the evolution of Neuroscience up to the discovery of the EEG by Hans Berger in 1929. Much more has happened since. Let’s see…
