Abstract

In this paper, a biophysical neural network model consisting of a pyramidal neuron, an interneuron, and the astrocyte is studied. The corresponding dynamical properties are mainly investigated by using numerical simulations. The results show that the presence of the adenosine triphosphate and of the interneuron impacts the overall neural activity. It is shown that the fluxes of calcium through the cellular membrane strongly affect the modulation of the neural activity arising from the astrocyte.
