Check out this new model from
@ivanmindlin.bsky.social
,
@rherzoga.bsky.social
and friends showing that a local homeostatic inhibition allows for a broader repertoire of states, including spatial mosaics of wake and sleep-like activity. Could this be the basis of the phenomenon of local sleep? 🧠🧪💤

📄Very happy to share our new pre-print!! 🧠 We introduce a homeostatic inhibitory plasticity rule into the Dynamic Mean Field (DMF) model which stabilizes firing rates and expands the model’s dynamical repertoire—for example, enabling slow-wave activity.

The impact of homeostatic inhibitory plasticity in a generative biophysical model
A main characteristic of biological systems is their capacity to dynamically adapt to environmental changes. In the brain, synaptic plasticity enables the strengthening or weakening of connections bet...
