- W2117918745 abstract "Conventional neural networks are characterized by many neurons coupled together through synapses. The activity, synchronization, plasticity and excitability of the network are then controlled by its synaptic connectivity. Neurons are surrounded by an extracellular space whereby fluctuations in specific ionic concentration can modulate neuronal excitability. Extracellular concentrations of potassium ([K + ] o ) can generate neuronal hyperexcitability. Yet, after many years of research, it is still unknown whether an elevation of potassium is the cause or the result of the generation, propagation and synchronization of epileptiform activity. An elevation of potassium in neural tissue can be characterized by dispersion (global elevation of potassium) and lateral diffusion (local spatial gradients). Both experimental and computational studies have shown that lateral diffusion is involved in the generation and the propagation of neural activity in diffusively coupled networks. Therefore, diffusion-based coupling by potassium can play an important role in neural networks and it is reviewed in four sections. Section 2 shows that potassium diffusion is responsible for the synchronization of activity across a mechanical cut in the tissue. A computer model of diffusive coupling shows that potassium diffusion can mediate communication between cells and generate abnormal and/or periodic activity in small (§3) and in large networks of cells (§4). Finally, in §5, a study of the role of extracellular potassium in the propagation of axonal signals shows that elevated potassium concentration can block the propagation of neural activity in axonal pathways. Taken together, these results indicate that potassium accumulation and diffusion can interfere with normal activity and generate abnormal activity in neural networks." @default.
