Mean-Field Model of Glia-Mediated Appearance of Brain Rhythms in Normal and Pathological Conditions

The mean-field model of glia-mediated brain rhythms presents a theoretical framework that investigates the regulatory role of glial cells in neuronal activity and the generation of brain rhythms under normal and pathological conditions. Within this model, glial cells influence neuronal excitability through the release of gliotransmitters. When the functions of glial cells are compromised, such as during infection with the Covid-19 virus, oscillations in the activity of neuron populations are disrupted, highlighting the critical contribution of glial cells to brain dynamics.
