Pattern-wave model of brain. Mechanisms of information processing, memory organization
Alexey Redozubov

TL;DR
This paper proposes a wave-based neural activity model where diffuse neurotransmitter spreading and wave propagation encode and process information, memory, and cortical communication in the brain.
Contribution
It introduces a novel wave propagation model of neural activity based on diffuse neurotransmitter spreading and wavefront patterns, explaining information processing and memory organization.
Findings
Wave patterns are strictly unique and define the originating source.
Computer simulations demonstrate high effectiveness of the wave-based information model.
The model explains cortical projection and brain-wide information processing mechanisms.
Abstract
The structure of the axon-dendrite connections of neurons of the brain creates a rich spatial structure in which provided various combinations of signals surrounding neurons. Structure of dendritic trees and shape of dendritic spines allow repeatedly increase combinatorial component through cross synapses influence neighboring neurons. In this paper it is shown that the diffuse spreading of neurotransmitters allows neurons to detect and remember significant set of environmental activity patterns. As a core element fixation described extrasynaptic metabotropic receptive clusters. The described mechanism leads to the appearance of wave processes, based on the propagation of the front-line areas of spontaneous activity. In the proposed model, any compact pattern of neural activity is seen as a source emitting a diverging wave endogenous spikes. It is shown that the spike pattern of the…
