Many neuronal systems and models display a certain class of mixed mode oscillations (MMOs) consisting of periods of small amplitude oscillations interspersed with spikes. Various models with different underlying mechanisms have been proposed to generate this type of behavior. Stochast

For a model nonlinear dynamical system, we show how one may obtain its bifurcation behavior by introducing noise into the dynamics and then studying the resulting Langevin dynamics in the weak-noise limit. A suitable quantity to capture the bifurcation behavior in the noisy dynamics is the conditional probability to observe a microscopic configuration at one time, conditioned on the observation of a given configuration at an earlier time. For our model system, this conditional probability is studied by using two complementary approaches, the Fokker-Planck and the path-integral approach. The latter has the advantage of yielding exact closed-form expressions for the conditional probability. All our predictions are in excellent agreement with direct numerical integration of the dynamical equations of motion.
Spiking neural networks (SNNs) has attracted much attention due to its great potential of modeling time-dependent signals. The firing rate of spiking neurons is decided by control rate which is fixed manually in advance, and thus, whether the firing rate is adequate for modeling actual time series relies on fortune. Though it is demanded to have an adaptive control rate, it is a non-trivial task because the control rate and the connection weights learned during the training process are usually entangled. In this paper, we show that the firing rate is related to the eigenvalue of the spike generation function. Inspired by this insight, by enabling the spike generation function to have adaptable eigenvalues rather than parametric control rates, we develop the Bifurcation Spiking Neural Network (BSNN), which has an adaptive firing rate and is insensitive to the setting of control rates. Experiments validate the effectiveness of BSNN on a broad range of tasks, showing that BSNN achieves superior performance to existing SNNs and is robust to the setting of control rates.
We calculate a measure of statistical complexity from the global dynamics of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals from healthy subjects and epileptic patients, and are able to stablish a criterion to characterize the collective behavior in both groups of individuals. It is found that the collective dynamics of EEG signals possess relative higher values of complexity for healthy subjects in comparison to that for epileptic patients. To interpret these results, we propose a model of a network of coupled chaotic maps where we calculate the complexity as a function of a parameter and relate this measure with the emergence of nontrivial collective behavior in the system. Our results show that the presence of nontrivial collective behavior is associated to high values of complexity; thus suggesting that similar dynamical collective process may take place in the human brain. Our findings also suggest that epilepsy is a degenerative illness related to the loss of complexity in the brain.
In this paper, we present the empirical investigation results on the neuroendocrine system by bipartite graphs. This neuroendocrine network model can describe the structural characteristic of neuroendocrine system. The act degree distribution and cumulate act degree distribution show so-called shifted power law-SPL function forms. In neuroendocrine network, the act degree stands for the number of the cells that secretes a single mediator, in which bFGF(basic fibroblast growth factor) is the largest node act degree. It is an important mitogenic cytokine, followed by TGF-beta, IL-6, IL1-beta, VEGF, IGF-1and so on. They are critical in neuroendocrine system to maintain bodily healthiness, emotional stabilization and endocrine harmony. The average act degree of neuroendocrine network is h = 3.01, It means each mediator is secreted by three cells on an average . The similarity that stand for the average probability of secreting the same mediators by all the neuroendocrine cells is s = 0.14. Our results may be used in the research of the medical treatment of neuroendocrine diseases.
The controllability of synchronization is an intriguing question in complex systems, in which hiearchically-organized heterogeneous elements have asymmetric and activity-dependent couplings. In this study, we introduce a simple and effective way to control synchronization in such a complex system by changing the complexity of subsystems. We consider three Stuart-Landau oscillators as a minimal subsystem for generating various complexity, and hiearchically connect the subsystems through a mean field of their activities. Depending on the coupling signs between three oscillators, subsystems can generate ample dynamics, in which the number of attractors specify their complexity. The degree of synchronization between subsystems is then controllable by changing the complexity of subsystems. This controllable synchronization can be applied to understand the synchronization behavior of complex biological networks.
