Figure 1

First column indicated the location of the pathological clusters in black and the position of the micro-incision using the labeled line. The second column shows the temporal average activity in 10000 simulation steps. The third column indicates the spatial average of the same simulation using the black line and the purple lines show the spatial average of 10 × 10 subsquares, which represent macro-columns in the model. (A) Resulting simulation after a 5 minicolumn long micro-incision. (B) Resulting simulation after a 10 minicolumn long micro-incision. (C) Resulting simulation after a 45 minicolumn long micro-incision.
