Connectionists: A new paper on the roles of inhibitory neurons in neural sync

[Takashi KANAMARU]

Dear all,

I would like to announce a new paper on
the roles of inhibitory neurons
in the neural synchronization is available.

Takashi Kanamaru and Kazuyuki Aihara,
"Roles of inhibitory neurons in rewiring-induced synchronization
in pulse-coupled neural networks,"
Neural Computation, vol.22, no.5  (2010) pp.1383-1398.

[Abstract]
The roles of inhibitory neurons in synchronous firing
are examined in a network of excitatory and inhibitory neurons
with Watts and Strogatz's rewiring. By examining the persistence
of the synchronous firing that exists in the random network, 
it was found that there is a probability of rewiring at which
a transition between the synchronous state and the asynchronous
state takes place, and the dynamics of the inhibitory neurons
play an important role in determining this probability.


Best regards,
