Migraine aura dynamics after reverse retinotopic mapping of weak excitation waves in the primary visual cortex.

abstract：:This work presents unified analyses of spatial and temporal visual information processing in a feed-forward network of neurons that obey membrane, or shunting equations. The feed-forward shunting network possesses properties that make it well suited for processing of static, spatial information. However, it is shown h...
