In the last decade, network science has shed new light both on the structural (anatomical) and on the functional (correlations in the activity) connectivity among the different areas of the human brain. The analysis of brain networks has…
We propose a dynamical neural network model with a hierarchical and modular structure. The network architecture can be derived by minimizing an energy function that is originally designed based on two kinds of neurons with quite different…
Functions of brain areas in complex animals are believed to rely on the dynamics of networks of neurons rather than on single neurons. On the other hand, the network dynamics reflect and arise from the integration and coordination of the…
An essential requirement for the representation of functional patterns in complex neural networks, such as the mammalian cerebral cortex, is the existence of stable regimes of network activation, typically arising from a limited parameter…
We are offering a particular interpretation (well within the range of experimentally and theoretically accepted notions) of neural connectivity and dynamics and discuss it as the data-and-process architecture of the visual system. In this…
Complex networks can often be decomposed into less complex sub-networks whose structures can give hints about the functional organization of the network as a whole. However, these structural motifs can only tell one part of the functional…
The neural mechanism of memory has a very close relation with the problem of representation in artificial intelligence. In this paper a computational model was proposed to simulate the network of neurons in brain and how they process…
Repeating patterns of spike sequences from a neuronal network have been proposed to be useful in the reconstruction of the network topology. Reverberations in a physiologically realistic model with various physical connection topologies…
One important question in neuroscience is how global behavior in a brain network emerges from the interplay between network connectivity and the neural dynamics of individual nodes. To better understand this theoretical relationship, we…
How the information microscopically processed by individual neurons is integrated and used in organizing the behavior of an animal is a central question in neuroscience. The coherence of neuronal dynamics over different scales has been…
The understanding of neural activity patterns is fundamentally linked to an understanding of how the brain's network architecture shapes dynamical processes. Established approaches rely mostly on deviations of a given network from certain…
Structural and functional heterogeneity are hallmarks of cortical circuits, from broad degree distributions in the mouse connectome to diverse intrinsic neuronal timescales. Yet a mechanistic link between connectivity heterogeneity and…
The large-scale structural ingredients of the brain and neural connectomes have been identified in recent years. These are, similar to the features found in many other real networks: the arrangement of brain regions into modules and the…
Adaptive behavior, cognition and emotion are the result of a bewildering variety of brain spatiotemporal activity patterns. An important problem in neuroscience is to understand the mechanism by which the human brain's 100 billion neurons…
The neural networks of the human brain act as very efficient parallel processing computers co-ordinating memory related responses to a multitude of input signals from sensory organs. Information storage, update and appropriate retrieval are…
We consider the information transmission problem in neurons and its possible implications for learning in neural networks. Our approach is based on recent developments in statistical physics and complexity science. Combining sensory…
The relationship of network structure and dynamics is one of most extensively investigated problems in the theory of complex systems of the last years. Understanding this relationship is of relevance to a range of disciplines -- from…
Functional connectome extends the anatomical connectome by capturing the relations between neurons according to their activity and interactions. When these relations are causal, the functional connectome maps how neural activity flows…
Structural connectivity in the brain is typically studied by reducing its observation to a single spatial resolution. However, the brain possesses a rich architecture organized over multiple scales linked to one another. We explored the…
It is well known that synchronization patterns and coherence have a major role in the functioning of brain networks, both in pathological and in healthy states. In particular, in the perception of sound, one can observe an increase in…
