Stochastic generation of biologically accurate brain networksAluri, Aravind 12 April 2006 (has links)
Basic circuits, which form the building blocks of the brain, have been identiffied
in recent literature. We propose to treat these basic circuits as "stochastic generators"
whose instances serve to wire a portion of the mouse brain. Very much in the same
manner as genes generate proteins by providing templates for their construction, we
view the catalog of basic circuits as providing templates for wiring up the neurons
of the brain. This thesis work involves a) deffining a framework for the stochastic
generation of brain networks, b) generation of sample networks from the basic circuits,
and c) visualization of the generated networks.
