Abstract

A phase reduction formalism is applied to study various patterns of synchrony displayed by a heterogeneous network of Hodgkin-Huxley neurons. The phase diagram of this system is obtained. In particular, the fraction of frequency locked neurons is shown to be a non-monotonic function of the heterogeneity. A dynamical regime in which the neurons oscillate with a high degree of coherence but with dispersion of the firing rates is found.

Stability of periodic oscillations in a network of neurons with time delay
1994, Physics Letters A
Oscillatory behavior is investigated in the case of a network of oscillatory pairs of neurons with time-delayed connections. The uniform periodic solution is obtained from the numerical integration of a system reduced to a single pair of neurons. The stability of this periodic orbit in the network is estimated from a discretization of the time axis. It is shown that the periodic solution becomes unstable as the size of the system is increased. This loss of stability results in the appearance of spatiotemporally structured behavior, such as travelling waves.
