title: Activity analysis of neural networks.
abstract: In a series of articles (Leung et al., 1973, 1974; Ogŭztöreli, 1972, 1975, 1978, 1979; Stein et al., 1974) we have investigated some of the physiologically significant properties of a general neural model. In these papers the nature of the oscillations occuring in the model has been briefly analyzed by omitting the effects of the discrete time-lags in the interaction of neurons, although these time-lags were incoporated in the general model. In the present work we investigate the effects of the time-lags on the oscillations which are intrinsic to the neural model, depending on the structural parameters such as external inputs, interaction coefficients, self-inhibition, self-excitation and self-adaptation coefficients. The numerical solution of the neural model, the computation of the steady-state solutions and the natural modes of the oscillations around the steady-state solutions are described.
