Low-dimensional dynamics of populations of pulse-coupled oscillators

D Pazó, E Montbrió - Physical Review X, 2014 - APS
Large communities of biological oscillators show a prevalent tendency to self-organize in
time. This cooperative phenomenon inspired Winfree to formulate a mathematical model that …

Neural dynamics and information representation in microcircuits of motor cortex

Y Tsubo, Y Isomura, T Fukai - Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013 - frontiersin.org
The brain has to analyze and respond to external events that can change rapidly from time
to time, suggesting that information processing by the brain may be essentially dynamic …

Qualitative changes in phase-response curve and synchronization at the saddle-node-loop bifurcation

J Hesse, JH Schleimer, S Schreiber - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
Prominent changes in neuronal dynamics have previously been attributed to a specific
switch in onset bifurcation, the Bogdanov-Takens (BT) point. This study unveils another …

Impact of neuronal heterogeneity on correlated colored noise-induced synchronization

P Zhou, SD Burton, NN Urban… - Frontiers in …, 2013 - frontiersin.org
Synchronization plays an important role in neural signal processing and transmission. Many
hypotheses have been proposed to explain the origin of neural synchronization. In recent …

Phase synchronization between collective rhythms of globally coupled oscillator groups: Noiseless nonidentical case

We theoretically study the synchronization between collective oscillations exhibited by two
weakly interacting groups of nonidentical phase oscillators with internal and external global …

Self-organization of a neural network with heterogeneous neurons enhances coherence and stochastic resonance

X Li, J Zhang, M Small - Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of …, 2009 - pubs.aip.org
Most network models for neural behavior assume a predefined network topology and consist
of almost identical elements exhibiting little heterogeneity. In this paper, we propose a self …

Flexible patterns of information transfer in frustrated networks of phase oscillators

S Khatami, E Bolhasani, M Perc, A Valizadeh - Nonlinear Dynamics, 2023 - Springer
