Though biological and artificial complex systems having inhibitory connections exhibit high degree of clustering in their interaction pattern, the evolutionary origin of clustering in such systems remains a challenging problem. Using genetic algorithm we demonstrate that inhibition is required in the evolution of clique structure from primary random architecture, in which the fitness function is assigned based on the largest eigenvalue. Further, the distribution of triads over nodes of the network evolved from mixed connections exhibits a negative correlation with its degree providing insight into origin of this trend observed in real networks.

Functional networks provide a topological description of activity patterns in the brain, as they stem from the propagation of neural activity on the underlying anatomical or structural network of synaptic connections. This latter is well known to be
organized in hierarchical and modular way. While it is assumed that structural networks shape their functional counterparts, it is also hypothesized that alterations of brain dynamics come with transformations of functional connectivity. In this computational study, we introduce a novel methodology to monitor the persistence and breakdown of hierarchical order in functional networks, generated from computational models of activity spreading on both synthetic and real structural connectomes. We show that hierarchical connectivity appears in functional networks in a persistent way if the dynamics is set to be in the quasi-critical regime associated with optimal processing capabilities and normal brain function, while it breaks down in other (supercritical) dynamical regimes, often associated with pathological conditions. Our results offer important clues for the study of optimal neurocomputing architectures and processes, which are capable of controlling patterns of activity and information flow. We conclude that functional connectivity patterns achieve optimal balance between local specialized processing (i.e. segregation) and global integration by inheriting the hierarchical organization of the underlying structural architecture.
We study with numerical simulation the possible limit behaviors of synchronous discrete-time deterministic recurrent neural networks composed of N binary neurons as a function of a networks level of dilution and asymmetry. The network dilution measur
es the fraction of neuron couples that are connected, and the network asymmetry measures to what extent the underlying connectivity matrix is asymmetric. For each given neural network, we study the dynamical evolution of all the different initial conditions, thus characterizing the full dynamical landscape without imposing any learning rule. Because of the deterministic dynamics, each trajectory converges to an attractor, that can be either a fixed point or a limit cycle. These attractors form the set of all the possible limit behaviors of the neural network. For each network, we then determine the convergence times, the limit cycles length, the number of attractors, and the sizes of the attractors basin. We show that there are two network structures that maximize the number of possible limit behaviors. The first optimal network structure is fully-connected and symmetric. On the contrary, the second optimal network structure is highly sparse and asymmetric. The latter optimal is similar to what observed in different biological neuronal circuits. These observations lead us to hypothesize that independently from any given learning model, an efficient and effective biologic network that stores a number of limit behaviors close to its maximum capacity tends to develop a connectivity structure similar to one of the optimal networks we found.
We present a mathematical study of the emergence of phenotypic heterogeneity in vascularised tumours. Our study is based on formal asymptotic analysis and numerical simulations of a system of non-local parabolic equations that describes the phenotypi
c evolution of tumour cells and their nonlinear dynamic interactions with the oxygen, which is released from the intratumoural vascular network. Numerical simulations are carried out both in the case of arbitrary distributions of intratumour blood vessels and in the case where the intratumoural vascular network is reconstructed from clinical images obtained using dynamic optical coherence tomography. The results obtained support a more in-depth theoretical understanding of the eco-evolutionary process which underpins the emergence of phenotypic heterogeneity in vascularised tumours. In particular, our results offer a theoretical basis for empirical evidence indicating that the phenotypic properties of cancer cells in vascularised tumours vary with the distance from the blood vessels, and establish a relation between the degree of tumour tissue vascularisation and the level of intratumour phenotypic heterogeneity.
Generalized linear models are one of the most efficient paradigms for predicting the correlated stochastic activity of neuronal networks in response to external stimuli, with applications in many brain areas. However, when dealing with complex stimul
i, the inferred coupling parameters often do not generalize across different stimulus statistics, leading to degraded performance and blowup instabilities. Here, we develop a two-step inference strategy that allows us to train robust generalized linear models of interacting neurons, by explicitly separating the effects of correlations in the stimulus from network interactions in each training step. Applying this approach to the responses of retinal ganglion cells to complex visual stimuli, we show that, compared to classical methods, the models trained in this way exhibit improved performance, are more stable, yield robust interaction networks, and generalize well across complex visual statistics. The method can be extended to deep convolutional neural networks, leading to models with high predictive accuracy for both the neuron firing rates and their correlations.
The collective phenomena of a liquid market is characterized in terms of a particle system scenario. This physical analogy enables us to disentangle intrinsic features from purely stochastic ones. The latter are the result of environmental changes du
e to a `heat bath acting on the many-asset system, quantitatively described in terms of a time dependent effective temperature. The remaining intrinsic properties can be widely investigated by applying standard methods of classical many body systems. As an example, we consider a large set of stocks traded at the NYSE and determine the corresponding asset--asset `interaction potential. In order to investigate in more detail the cluster structure suggested by the short distance behavior of the interaction potential, we perform a connectivity analysis of the spatial distribution of the particle system. In this way, we are able to draw conclusions on the intrinsic cluster persistency independently of the specific market conditions.
