The code provided is part of a computational model in the field of computational neuroscience, specifically aimed at simulating neuronal dynamics. The biological basis of the code involves modeling the behavior of neuronal networks, considering synaptic interactions, neuronal firing, and network connectivity. Below are the key biological aspects represented in the code: ### Neuronal Network - **Network Structure**: The code models a network of neurons, as indicated by variables like `Nneur` and `NPN`, which represent the total number of neurons and possibly a subset or type of neuron involved in the simulation. A network of 200 neurons (`Nneur=200`) with 100 as a specific subset (`NPN=100`) is being simulated. - **Synaptic Weights**: Synaptic connections between neurons are considered, likely modeled through matrices such as `Poids`, which is initialized using a function `Mathasard`. This function seems to generate random synaptic weights based on input parameters like `Kexl`, `Kinl`, `Ferexl`, and `Ferinl`, standing for different synaptic conductance or scaling factors. - **Delays**: The `Retards` matrix implies the presence of synaptic delays, where some synaptic weights are associated with specific transmission delays, set to `retarinl` for those connections with negative weights. ### Neuronal Dynamics - **Membrane Potential and Conductance**: Variables such as `Vex`, `Vin`, `Vr`, `Kr`, suggest modeling of neuronal membrane potentials and their dynamics. These could relate to excitatory (`Vex`) and inhibitory (`Vin`) synaptic inputs, resting membrane potential (`Vr`), and other conductance parameters influencing the neuron's activity. - **Randomness and Initialization**: The simulation incorporates stochastic elements introduced through seeds `seedscalmat`, `seedscalvect`, and `seedscalevol`, pointing to the use of random number generators to simulate variability in biological neuronal networks. - **Initialization**: The function `Creinit` is used to initialize the state of the neurons, potentially setting initial conditions for the network based on a random or predefined schema (`Creinit(retarinl,Nneur,0,1)`). ### Temporal Evolution and Measurement - **Simulation Time**: The code defines the simulation over time (`Temps=100`), indicating steps over which neuronal activity will be evaluated. - **Activity Evolution**: The function `Evol(epsilon,0)` likely describes the evolution of neuronal activity over time, driven by the parameter `epsilon`, which could represent a neuronal noise level or synaptic scaling factor. - **Outcome Measures**: The `Moytemp` function calculates temporal averages of some neuronal measures, while the plot displays images and plots indicative of activity over time. Variables like `Matpn` and `Sompn` might represent neural population activity over time. ### Visualization - **Data Visualization**: The code uses plotting functions to visualize the neuronal state and activity as indicated by `imagesc(Matpn)` and time-series plots, which provide insights into the temporal dynamics and firing patterns of the simulated neuronal network. In summary, the provided code is focused on simulating the dynamics of a network of neurons with a specific focus on synaptic connectivity, neuronal excitability, and temporal activity patterns. The key biological processes modeled include synaptic weights and delays, random fluctuations in neuronal inputs, membrane potential dynamics, and network activity evolution.
