Abstract

We model the innervation dynamics of interneurons in a cerebral cortex center A between the time of initial sensory input and acquisition of a sustained steady state. The model assumes that interneurons in A are heavily interconnected allowing synchronization. This invites modeling the dynamics by means of a discrete time map. The model takes into account the influence
of excitatory and inhibitory cells and reflects the architecture of synapses along the axons. The acquisition of a sustained chaotic state is characterized by means of a natural invariant probability measure. The time to attain this probability measure can be estimated.
