Compensating for Thalamocortical Synaptic Loss in Alzheimer’s Disease

Compensating for Thalamocortical Synaptic Loss in Alzheimer’s Disease

The study presents a thalamocortical network model which oscillates within the alpha frequency band (8-13 Hz) as recorded in the wakeful relaxed state with closed eyes to study the neural causes of abnormal oscillatory activity in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Incorporated within the model are various t...
