abstract = {In order to better understand the relationship of
connectivity and function in the brain at different scales,
in this work we show the results of using point neuron
network simulations to complement connectivity information
of whole brain simulations based on a dynamic neuron mass
model. In our multiscale approach, we simulate a whole brain
parcellated into 68 regions using a similar setup as
described in Deco et al. 2014. Each region is modeled as a
dynamic neuron mass and, in parallel, we also model each
region as small point neuron populations in NEST. Structural
plasticity in NEST is then used to calculate inner
inhibitory connectivity required to match experimentally
observed firing rate behavior. An interactive tool was
developed in order to steer the structural plasticity
algorithm and take all the regions, which are also highly
interconnected, to their ideal firing activity. An inner
inhibition fitting was first proposed in the work by Deco
2014, using an iterative tunning method. In our work, we
allow the point neuron network to self generate the
connectivity using simple homeostatic rules and then we feed
this information to the dynamic mass model simulation. With
the resulting connectivity data from the NEST simulations
and experimentally obtained DTI inter region connectivity,
simulations of the whole brain producing results comparable
to experimental fMRI data are possible. Using this approach,
the fitting and parameter space exploration times are
reduced and a new way to explore the impact of connectivity
in function at different scales is presented.},
