Before and beyond the Wilson-Cowan equations

18 Jul 2019  ·  Carson C. Chow, Yahya Karimipanah ·

The Wilson-Cowan equations represent a landmark in the history of computational neuroscience. Among the insights Wilson and Cowan offered for neuroscience, they crystallized an approach to modeling neural dynamics and brain function. Although their iconic equations are used in various guises today, the ideas that led to their formulation and the relationship to other approaches are not well known. Here, we give a little context to some of the biological and theoretical concepts that lead to the Wilson-Cowan equations and discuss how to extend beyond them.
