Stability and Bifurcations in Neural Fields with Axonal Delay and General Connectivity

Please always quote using this URN:urn:nbn:de:0296-matheon-415
  • A stability analysis is presented for neural field equations in the presence of axonal delays and for a general class of connectivity kernels and synap- tic properties. Sufficient conditions are given for the stability of equilibrium solutions. It is shown that the delays play a crucial role in non-stationary bifurcations of equilibria, whereas the stationary bifurcations depend only on the kernel. Bounds are determined for the frequencies of bifurcating periodic solutions. A perturbative scheme is used to calculate the types of bifurca- tions leading to spatial patterns, oscillatory solutions, and traveling waves. For high transmission speeds a simple method is derived that allows the de- termination of the bifurcation type by visual inspection of the Fourier trans- forms of the connectivity kernel and its first moment. Results are numerically illustrated on a class of neurologically plausible second order systems with combinations of Gaussian excitatory and inhibitory connections.
