Topic: eigenmodes

Summary: Modulation of neural activity by hormones, peptides, and other small molecules is known to be required for learning, motor control, and homeostasis, and it can induce similarly structured networks to exhibit different behaviors. Yet, relatively few theoretic studies have attempted to detangle the role and function the various types of modulation play throughout the brain. In particular, it is important to understand how changing neuromodulator concentrations can move a network through its space of possible behaviors. A better understanding of neuromodulatory movement through behaviora
