We consider a simple neural field model in which the state variable is dendritic voltage, and in which somas form a continuous one-dimensional layer. This neural field model with dendritic processing is formulated as an integro-differential equation. We introduce a computational method for approximating solutions to this nonlocal model, and use it to perform numerical simulations for neuro-biologically realistic choices of anatomical connectivity and nonlinear firing rate function. For the time discretisation we adopt an Implicit-Explicit (IMEX) scheme; the space discretisation is based on a finite-difference scheme to approximate the diffusion term and uses the trapezoidal rule to approximate integrals describing the nonlocal interactions in the model. We prove that the scheme is of first-order in time and second order in space, and can be efficiently implemented if the factorisation of a small, banded matrix is precomputed. By way of validation we compare the outputs of a numerical realisation to theoretical predictions for the onset of a Turing pattern, and to the speed and shape of a travelling front for a specific choice of Heaviside firing rate. We find that theory and numerical simulations are in excellent agreement.

Keywords: Neural fields, integral equations, cable equation, finite difference scheme, travelling waves.

Figure 1.  Schematic of the neural field model. (a) Dendrites are represented as unbranched fibres (red), orthogonal to a continuum of somas (somatic layer, in grey). (b) Model (1) is for a 1D somatic layer, with coordinate $ x \in \mathbb{R} $, and fiber coordinate $ \xi \in \mathbb{R} $. Input currents are generated in a small neighbourhood of the somatic layer, at $ \xi = 0 $ and are delivered to a contact point, in a small neighbourhood of $ \xi = \xi_0 $. The strength of interaction depends on the distance between sources and contact points, measured along the somatic layer, hence the inputs that are generated at $ A $ and transmitted to $ B $, $ C $, and $ D $ depend on $ |x_B - x_A| $, $ |x_C-x_A| $, and $ |x_D - x_A| $, respectively (see (2))
