The Integrated Information is a quantitative measure from information theory how tightly all parts of a system are interconnected in terms of information exchange. In this study we show that astrocyte, playing an important role in regulation of information transmission between neurons, may contribute to a generation of positive Integrated Information in neuronal ensembles. Analytically and numerically we show that the presence of astrocyte may be essential for this information attribute in neuro-astrocytic ensembles. Moreover, the proposed spiking-bursting mechanism of generating positive Integrated Information is shown to be generic and not limited to neuroglial networks, and is given a complete analytic description.
Most information dynamics and statistical causal analysis frameworks rely on the common intuition that causal interactions are intrinsically pairwise -- every cause variable has an associated effect variable, so that a causal arrow can be drawn betwe
This study presents a comprehensive analytic description in terms of the empirical whole minus sum version of Integrated Information in comparison to the decoder based version for the spiking-bursting discrete-time, discrete-state stochastic model, w
The ability to integrate information in the brain is considered to be an essential property for cognition and consciousness. Integrated Information Theory (IIT) hypothesizes that the amount of integrated information ($Phi$) in the brain is related to
The Integrated Information Theory provides a quantitative approach to consciousness and can be applied to neural networks. An embodied agent controlled by such a network influences and is being influenced by its environment. This involves, on the one
A new paradigm has recently emerged in brain science whereby communications between glial cells and neuron-glia interactions should be considered together with neurons and their networks to understand higher brain functions. In particular, astrocytes
