Towards a theory of cortical columns: From spiking neurons to interacting neural populations of finite size.

Neural population equations such as neural mass or field models are widely used to study brain activity on a large scale. However, the relation of these models to the properties of single neurons is unclear. Here we derive an equation for several interacting populations at the mesoscopic scale start...
