ABSTRACT
We perform a simple calculation of a classical
cellular automata model based on two types of cells (neurons), excitatory and inhibitory ones, randomly distributed in a 2D space. The only
varying parameter is the percentage of inhibitory neurons. Even under such
simple conditions, we obtain a
transition between two states (which we conjecture to be normal and epileptic). The difference between these states are
manifested both in the neuronal activity amplitude and in their frequency. The
amplitude changes are shown to be similar
to those obtained in a tonic-clonic seizure.
