Dynamical synapses causing self-organized criticality in neural networks
Anna Levina, J. Michael Herrmann, Theo Geisel
We show that a network of spiking neurons exhibits robust self-organized criticality if the synaptic efficacies follow realistic dynamics. Deriving analytical expressions for the a…
