[Modeling different regimes of bioelectrical activity in the brain in normal subjects and in "increased readiness" in a network of neuron-like elements].

Desynchronous (low voltage fast activity), synchronous (high voltage slow waves) as well as convulsive brain activities were stimulated by a computer model of neuronal population. Network excitatory and inhibitory elements possessed fundamental dynamic properties of real neurones. Being independent both of the excitability of elements and of external influence efficacy, synchronous (desynchronous) network activity resulted from the increase (decrease) of the average power of "neuronal" interconnections which imitated mutual and recurrent excitation and inhibition. The inhibition efficacy being reduced as compared with excitation, synchronization of elements became intensified. As a consequence, the rhythmic activity amplitude increased and the appearance of self-sustained oscillations simulating convulsive activity was facilitated. The probable mechanism of EEG activation by virtue of the reduction of mutual and recurrent excitation and inhibition efficacy as well as the significance of inhibitory mechanism deficiency for epileptogenesis are discussed.
