Neural computations emerge from myriads of neuronal interactions occurring in intricate spiking networks. Due to the inherent complexity of neural models, relating the spiking activity of a network to its structure requires simplifying…
We study a stochastic system of interacting neurons and its metastable properties. The system consists of $N$ neurons, each spiking randomly with rate depending on its membrane potential. At its spiking time, the neuron potential is reset…
We present a simple Markov model of spiking neural dynamics that can be analytically solved to characterize the stochastic dynamics of a finite-size spiking neural network. We give closed-form estimates for the equilibrium distribution,…
Cortical neurons emit seemingly erratic trains of action potentials or "spikes," and neural network dynamics emerge from the coordinated spiking activity within neural circuits. These rich dynamics manifest themselves in a variety of…
Low-dimensional descriptions of neural network dynamics are an effective tool for bridging different scales of organization of brain structure and function. Recent advances in deriving mean-field descriptions for networks of coupled…
In this work, we propose a nonlinear stochastic model of a network of stochastic spiking neurons. We heuristically derive the mean-field limit of this system. We then design a Monte Carlo method for the simulation of the microscopic system,…
Analysing biological spiking neural network models with synaptic plasticity has proven to be challenging both theoretically and numerically. In a network with N all-to-all connected neurons, the number of synaptic connections is on the…
Networks of model neurons with balanced recurrent excitation and inhibition produce irregular and asynchronous spiking activity. We extend the analysis of balanced networks to include the known dependence of connection probability on the…
In recurrent networks of leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons, mean-field theory has proven successful in describing various statistical properties of neuronal activity at equilibrium, such as firing rate distributions. Mean-field theory…
The neural dynamics generating sensory, motor, and cognitive functions are commonly understood through field theories for neural population activity. Classic neural field theories are derived from highly simplified models of individual…
We study the mean-field limit of a model of biological neuron networks based on the so-called stochastic integrate-and-fire (IF) dynamics. Our approach allows to derive a continuous limit for the macroscopic behavior of the system, the…
Replica-mean-field models have been proposed to decipher the activity of neural networks via a multiply-and-conquer approach. In this approach, one considers limit networks made of infinitely many replicas with the same basic neural…
Coarse-graining microscopic models of biological neural networks to obtain mesoscopic models of neural activities is an essential step towards multi-scale models of the brain. Here, we extend a recent theory for mesoscopic population…
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…
We establish mean-field limits for large-scale random-access networks with buffer dynamics and arbitrary interference graphs. While saturated-buffer scenarios have been widely investigated and yield useful throughput estimates for…
We examine the stability and qualitative dynamics of stochastic neuronal networks specified as multivariate nonlinear Hawkes processes and related point-process generalized linear models that incorporate both auto- and cross-history…
Mean-field theory is a powerful tool for studying large neural networks. However, when the system is composed of a few neurons, macroscopic differences between the mean-field approximation and the real behavior of the network can arise.…
This article studies the dynamics of the mean-field approximation of continuous random networks. These networks are stochastic integrodifferential equations driven by Gaussian noise. The kernels in the integral operators are realizations of…
We consider a finite system of interacting point processes with memory of variable length modeling a finite but large network of spiking neurons with two different leakage mechanisms. Associated to each neuron there are two point processes,…
Recurrent networks of non-linear units display a variety of dynamical regimes depending on the structure of their synaptic connectivity. A particularly remarkable phenomenon is the appearance of strongly fluctuating, chaotic activity in…
