We study the global synchronization of hierarchically-organized Stuart-Landau oscillators, where each subsystem consists of three oscillators with activity-dependent couplings. We consider all possible coupling signs between the three…
Patterns of waxing and waning oscillations, called spindles, are observed in multiple brain regions during sleep. Spindle are thought to be involved in memory consolidation. The origin of spindle oscillations is ongoing work but…
The chaotic dynamics of fractional (non-integer) order systems have begun to attract much attention in recent years. In this paper, we study the projective synchronization in two coupled fractional order chaotic oscillators. It is shown…
Synchronization is a widespread phenomenon observed across natural and artificial networked systems. It often manifests itself by clusters of units exhibiting coincident dynamics. These clusters are a direct consequence of the organization…
The oscillatory nature of the cortical local field potential (LFP) is commonly interpreted as a reflection of synchronized network activity, but its relationship to observed transient coincident firing of neurons on the millisecond…
It is widely supposed that following unilateral brain injury, there arises an asymmetry in inter-hemispheric inhibition which has an adverse influence upon motor control. I argue that this 'inter-hemispheric imbalance' model arises from a…
Visually induced neuronal activity in V1 displays a marked gamma-band component which is modulated by stimulus properties. It has been argued that synchronized oscillations contribute to these gamma-band activity [... however,] even when…
Synchronization in quantum systems has been recently studied through persistent oscillations of local observables, which stem from undamped modes of the dissipative dynamics. However, the existence of such modes requires fine-tuning the…
Human cognition emerges from coordinated spiking dynamics in distributed neural circuits, where information is encoded via both firing rates and precise spike timing determined by brain rhythms. Inspired by this notion, we propose a…
Oscillators coupled in a network can synchronize with each other to yield a coherent population rhythm. If multiple such networks are coupled together, the question arises whether these rhythms will synchronize. We investigate the impact of…

Thalamus has traditionally been considered as only a relay source of cortical inputs, with hierarchically organized cortical circuits serially transforming thalamic signals to cognitively-relevant representations. Given the absence of local…
Brain networks typically exhibit characteristic synchronization patterns where several synchronized clusters coexist. On the other hand, neurological disorders are considered to be related to pathological synchronization such as excessive…

At the macroscale, the brain operates as a network of interconnected neuronal populations, which display rhythmic dynamics that support interareal communication. Understanding how stimulation of a particular brain area impacts such…
How the brain co-ordinates the actions of distant regions in an efficient manner is an open problem. Many believe that cross-frequency coupling between the amplitude of high frequency local field potential oscillations in one region and the…

Oscillatory synchrony is hypothesized to support the flow of information between brain regions, with different phase-locked configurations enabling activation of different effective interactions. Along these lines, past work has proposed…
The human brain exhibits a relatively stable spatiotemporal organization that supports brain function and can be manipulated via local brain stimulation. Such perturbations to local cortical dynamics are globally integrated by distinct…
In a network of dynamical systems, concurrent synchronization is a regime where multiple groups of fully synchronized elements coexist. In the brain, concurrent synchronization may occur at several scales, with multiple ``rhythms''…
