Control of excitable systems is optimal near criticality
Kathleen Finlinson, Woodrow L. Shew, Daniel B. Larremore +1
Experiments suggest that cerebral cortex gains several functional advantages by operating in a dynamical regime near the critical point of a phase transition. However, a long-stand…
Robust entropy requires strong and balanced excitatory and inhibitory synapses
Vidit Agrawal, Andrew B. Cowley, Qusay Alfaori +3
It is widely appreciated that well-balanced excitation and inhibition are necessary for proper function in neural networks. However, in principle, such balance could be achieved by…
Inhibition causes ceaseless dynamics in networks of excitable nodes
Daniel B. Larremore, Woodrow L. Shew, Edward Ott +2
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 exc…
