We consider a ring network of quadratic integrate-and-fire neurons with nonlocal synaptic and gap junction coupling. The corresponding neural field model supports solutions such as standing and traveling waves, and also lurching waves. We show that many of these solutions satisfy self-consistency equations which can be used to follow them as parameters are varied. We perform numerical bifurcation analysis of the neural field model, concentrating on the effects of varying gap junction coupling strength. Our methods are generally applicable to a wide variety of networks of quadratic integrate-and-fire neurons.

The inquiry into the origin of brain complexity remains a pivotal question in neuroscience. While synaptic stimuli are acknowledged as significant, their efficacy often falls short in elucidating the extensive interconnections of the brain and nuanced levels of cognitive integration. Recent advances in neuroscience have brought the mechanisms underlying the generation of highly intricate dynamics, emergent patterns, and sophisticated oscillatory signals into question.

Deficient gamma oscillations in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of individuals with schizophrenia (SZ) are proposed to arise from alterations in the excitatory drive to fast-spiking interneurons (E I) and in the inhibitory drive from these interneurons to excitatory neurons (I E). Consistent with this idea, prior postmortem studies showed lower levels of molecular and structural markers for the strength of E I and I E synapses and also greater variability in E I synaptic strength in PFC of SZ. Moreover, simulating these alterations in a network of quadratic integrate-and-fire (QIF) neurons revealed a synergistic effect of their interactions on reducing gamma power.

Top-down visual attention is a fundamental cognitive process that allows individuals to selectively attend to salient visual stimuli in the environment. Recent empirical findings have revealed that gamma oscillations participate in the modulation of visual attention. However, computational studies face challenges when analyzing the attentional process in the context of gamma oscillation due to the unstable nature of gamma oscillations and the complexity induced by the layered fashion in the visual cortex.

Gamma oscillations (30-120 Hz) in the brain are not periodic cycles, but they typically appear in short-time windows, often called oscillatory bursts. While the origin of this bursting phenomenon is still unclear, some recent studies hypothesize its origin in the external or endogenous noise of neural networks. We demonstrate that an exact neural mass model of excitatory and inhibitory quadratic-integrate and fire-spiking neurons theoretically predicts the emergence of a different regime of intrinsic bursting gamma (IBG) oscillations without any noise source, a phenomenon due to collective chaos.
