Networks of living neurons exhibit an avalanche mode of activity, experimentally found in

Networks of living neurons exhibit an avalanche mode of activity, experimentally found in
organotypic cultures. Here we present a model that is based on self-organized criticality and …

Neuronal avalanches are a novel mode of activity in neuronal networks, experimentally
found in vitro and in vivo, and exhibit a robust critical behavior: these avalanches are …

In recent years self organized critical neuronal models have provided insights regarding the
origin of the experimentally observed avalanching behavior of neuronal systems. It has been …

The 1/f-like decay observed in the power spectrum of electro-physiological signals, along
with scale-free statistics of the so-called neuronal avalanches, constitutes evidence of …

A simple model for a set of interacting idealized neurons with small-world structure is
introduced. The basic elements of the model are endowed with the main features of a …

Neural systems process information in a dynamical regime between silence and chaotic
dynamics. This has lead to the criticality hypothesis, which suggests that neural systems …

We establish a general framework that explains how leaky, dissipative systems, such as
neuronal networks (NN), can exhibit robust self-organized criticality (SOC). Consistent with …

Recent experiments on cortical neural networks have revealed the existence of well-defined
avalanches of electrical activity. Such avalanches have been claimed to be generically scale …

The brain keeps its overall dynamics in a corridor of intermediate activity and it has been a
long standing question what possible mechanism could achieve this task. Mechanisms from …
