Percolation Model of Sensory Transmission and Loss of Consciousness Under General Anesthesia.

Physical review letters September 4, 2015 David W. Zhou, David D Mowrey, Pei Tang et al.

Neurons communicate with each other dynamically; how such communications lead to consciousness remains unclear. Here, we present a theoretical model to understand the dynamic nature of sensory activity and information integration in a hierarchical network, in which edges are stochastically defined by a single parameter p representing the percolation probability of information transmission. We...
