title: Mesoscopic neurodynamics.
abstract: An overview is given on the history, theory, and applications of mesoscopic neural models. It is shown why and how we can describe the behavior of a large population of neurons by the method of statistical neurodynamics. Normal and epileptic propagation of cortical activity have been simulated.
