Observations of finely-timed spike relationships in population recordings have been used to support partial reconstruction of neural microcircuit diagrams. In this approach, fine-timescale components of paired spike train interactions are…

The instantaneous state of a neural network consists of both the degree of excitation of each neuron the network is composed of and positions of impulses in communication lines between the neurons. In neurophysiological experiments, the…

We developed a model of cortical computation that implements key features of cortical circuitry and is capable of describing propagation of neural signals between cortical locations in response to spatially distributed stimuli. The model is…

We investigate the stability of synchronization in networks of delay-coupled excitable neural oscillators. On the basis of the master stability function formalism, we demonstrate that synchronization is always stable for excitatory coupling…

The mammalian brain could contain dense and sparse network connectivity structures, including both excitatory and inhibitory neurons, but is without any clearly defined output layer. The neurons have time constants, which mean that the…

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…

Discovering frequent episodes in event sequences is an interesting data mining task. In this paper, we argue that this framework is very effective for analyzing multi-neuronal spike train data. Analyzing spike train data is an important…

Many systems are modulated by unknown slow processes. This hinders analysis in highly non-linear systems, such as excitable systems. We show that for such systems, if the input matches the sparse `spiky' nature of the output, the spiking…

The impact of inhibitory and excitatory synapses in delay-coupled Hodgkin--Huxley neurons that are driven by noise is studied. If both synaptic types are used for coupling, appropriately tuned delays in the inhibition feedback induce…

The statistics of correlations are central quantities characterizing the collective dynamics of recurrent neural networks. We derive exact expressions for the statistics of correlations of nonlinear recurrent networks in the limit of a…

The effects of spike timing precision and dynamical behavior on error correction in spiking neurons were investigated. Stationary discharges -- phase locked, quasiperiodic, or chaotic -- were induced in a simulated neuron by presenting…

Information encoding in the nervous system is supported through the precise spike-timings of neurons; however, an understanding of the underlying processes by which such representations are formed in the first place remains unclear. Here we…

Neurons in the brain continuously process the barrage of sensory inputs they receive from the environment. A wide array of experimental work has shown that the collective activity of neural populations encodes and processes this constant…

Excessively high, neural synchronisation has been associated with epileptic seizures, one of the most common brain diseases worldwide. A better understanding of neural synchronisation mechanisms can thus help control or even treat epilepsy.…

We establish a general linear response relation for spiking neuronal networks, based on chains with unbounded memory. This relation allows us to predict the influence of a weak amplitude time-dependent external stimuli on spatio-temporal…

Multi-electrode arrays covering several square millimeters of neural tissue provide simultaneous access to population signals such as extracellular potentials and spiking activity of one hundred or more individual neurons. The…

A satisfactory understanding of information processing in spiking neural networks requires appropriate computational abstractions of neural activity. Traditionally, the neural population state vector has been the most common abstraction…

Brains learn to represent information from a large set of stimuli, typically by weak supervision. Unsupervised learning is therefore a natural approach for exploring the design of biological neural networks and their computations.…

Networks of strongly-coupled neurons with random connectivity exhibit chaotic, asynchronous fluctuations. In previous work, we showed that when endowed with an additional low-rank connectivity consisting of the outer product of orthogonal…

Neural network models comprising elements which have exclusively excitatory or inhibitory synapses are capable of a wide range of dynamic behavior, including chaos. In this paper, a simple excitatory-inhibitory neural pair, which forms the…
