ABSTRACT: The Integrate and Fire (IF) neuron model wasusedto
simulate ultra-slow oscillations that were observed in cortical cultures.
Simulation of a network with 2 sub-networks is conducted in this study. We
introduced an additional equation that governs the generation and dissipation
of an inhibitory property to each of the sub-network.Sub-networks that fire at
different rate are generated from the simulation. The network activity from the
simulation oscillates at frequencies that are comparable to ultra-slow
oscillations observed in cortical cultures.
