Synchronization in small-world systems.

Published: July 2002

We quantify the dynamical implications of the small-world phenomenon by considering the generic synchronization of oscillator networks of arbitrary topology. The linear stability of the synchronous state is linked to an algebraic condition of the Laplacian matrix of the network. Through numerics and analysis, we show how the addition of random shortcuts translates into improved network synchronizability. Applied to networks of low redundancy, the small-world route produces synchronizability more efficiently than standard deterministic graphs, purely random graphs, and ideal constructive schemes. However, the small-world property does not guarantee synchronizability: the synchronization threshold lies within the boundaries, but linked to the end of the small-world region.

This study delves into the examination of a network of adaptive synapse neurons characterized by a small-world network topology connected through electromagnetic flux and infused with randomness. First, this research extensively explores the existence of the global multi-stability of a single adaptive synapse-based neuron model with magnetic flux. The non-autonomous neuron model exhibits periodically switchable equilibrium states that are strongly related to the transitions between stable and unstable points in every whole periodic cycle, leading to the creation of global multi-stability.

This study aims to investigate the value of basal ganglia and limbic/paralimbic networks alteration in identifying preschool children with ASD and normal controls using diffusion basis spectrum imaging (DBSI). DBSI data from 31 patients with ASD and 30 NC were collected in Hunan Children's Hospital. All data were imported into the post-processing server.

In this paper, a new static pinning intermittent control based on resource awareness triggering is proposed. A multi-layer control technique is used to synchronize the coupled neural network. First, a hierarchical network structure including pinned and interaction layers is induced using each pinning strategy.

Article Synopsis
  • A biophysical network model for the isolated striatal body is created to enhance deep brain stimulation (DBS) for conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder.
  • The model is based on advanced equations and uses neuron positioning data from a human atlas, allowing it to distinguish between healthy and pathological neuronal activity.
  • It identifies optimal DBS parameters by balancing stimulation frequency, amplitude, and localization while revealing a trade-off between network activity and frequency synchronization.
