We develop a theory for the emergence of global firings in non-identical excitable systems subject to noise. Three different dynamical regimes arise: sub-threshold motion, where all elements remain confined near the fixed point; coherent…
We study the collective dynamics of an ensemble of coupled identical FitzHugh--Nagumo elements in their excitable regime. We show that collective firing, where all the elements perform their individual firing cycle synchronously, can be…

We study the collective dynamics in a network of excitable units (neurons) adaptively interacting with a pool of resources. The resource pool is influenced by the average activity of the network, whereas the feedback from the resources to…
The collective dynamics of a network of excitable nodes changes dramatically when inhibitory nodes are introduced. We consider inhibitory nodes which may be activated just like excitatory nodes but, upon activating, decrease the probability…
We here investigate the well-posedness of a networked integrate-and-fire model describing an infinite population of neurons which interact with one another through their common statistical distribution. The interaction is of the…
We study analytically the dynamics of a network of sparsely connected inhibitory integrate-and-fire neurons in a regime where individual neurons emit spikes irregularly and at a low rate. In the limit when the number of neurons N tends to…

We study the global dynamics of integrate and fire neural networks composed of an arbitrary number of identical neurons interacting by inhibition and excitation. We prove that if the interactions are strong enough, then the support of the…
Emerging collective behavior in complex dynamical networks depends on both coupling function and underlying coupling topology. Through this perspective, we provide a brief yet profound excerpt of recent research efforts that explore how the…
We study the dynamics of excitable integrate-and-fire neurons in a small-world network. At low densities $p$ of directed random connections, a localized transient stimulus results in either self-sustained persistent activity or in a brief…
