Implementing the cellular mechanisms of synaptic transmission in a neural mass model of the thalamo-cortical circuitry

A novel direction to existing neural mass modelling technique is proposed where the commonly used `alpha function' for representing synaptic transmission is replaced by a kinetic framework of neurotransmitter and receptor dynamics. The aim is to underpin neuro-transmission dynamics associate...
