Document worth reading: “Resonant features in a forced population of excitatory neurons”

In newest years, the analysis of coupled excitable oscillators has largely benefited from a new analytical methodology developed by Ott and Antonsen. This methodology permits to specific the dynamics of certain macroscopic observable in the ensemble in phrases of a diminished set of uncommon differential equations. This makes it doable to assemble low-dimensional fashions for the worldwide train of neural strategies from first guidelines. We investigated the macroscopic response of a big set of excitatory neurons to fully completely different forcing strategies. We report resonant conduct, that relies upon upon the heterogeneity between the fashions and their coupling energy. This contrasts with the kind of response that an exterior forcing can elicit in simple and extensively used phenomenological fashions. Resonant features in a forced population of excitatory neurons
