Original Source: A computational neuroscience approach to schizophrenia and its onset.
Computational neuroscience integrate-and-fire attractor network models can be used to understand the factors that alter the stability of cortical networks in the face of noise caused for example by neuronal spiking times. A reduction of the firing rates of cortical neurons caused for example by reduced NMDA receptor function (present in schizophrenia) can lead to instability of the high firing rate attractor states that normally implement short-term memory and attention, contributing to the cognitive and ne...
