The higher-order interactions of complex systems, such as the brain are captured by their simplicial structure and have a significant effect on dynamics. However, existing dynamical models defined complexes make strong assumption that dynamics resides exclusively nodes. Here we formulate Kuramoto model which describes between oscillators placed not only nodes but also links, triangles, so on. We show can lead to an explosive synchronization transition using adaptive coupling dependent...

Why are most empirical networks, with the prominent exception of social ones, generically degree-degree anticorrelated? To answer this long-standing question, we define ensemble correlated networks and obtain associated Shannon entropy. Maximum entropy can correspond to either assortative (correlated) or disassortative (anticorrelated) configurations, but in case highly heterogeneous, scale-free a certain disassortativity is predicted---offering parsimonious explanation for question above....

Abstract Simplicial complexes capture the underlying network topology and geometry of complex systems ranging from brain to social networks. Here we show that algebraic is a fundamental tool higher-order dynamics simplicial complexes. In particular consider topological signals, i.e., dynamical signals defined on simplices different dimension, here taken be nodes links for simplicity. We coupling between leads explosive synchronization in which phases synchronize simultaneously at...

Abstract Simplicial complexes constitute the underlying topology of interacting complex systems including among others brain and social interaction networks. They are generalized network structures that allow to go beyond framework pairwise interactions capture many-body between two or more nodes strongly affecting dynamical processes. In fact, simplicial allows assign a variable not only but also links, triangles, so on. Here we show evidence dynamics defined on simplices different...

Recent experiments on cortical neural networks have revealed the existence of well-defined avalanches electrical activity. Such been claimed to be generically scale invariant—i.e. power law distributed—with many exciting implications in neuroscience. Recently, a self-organized model has proposed by Levina, Herrmann and Geisel explain this empirical finding. Given that (i) dynamics is dissipative (ii) there loading mechanism progressively 'charging' background synaptic strength,...

Inverse Stochastic Resonance (ISR) is a phenomenon in which the average spiking rate of neuron exhibits minimum with respect to noise. ISR has been studied individual neurons, but here, we investigate scale-free networks, where calculated over neuronal population. We use Hodgkin-Huxley model neurons channel noise (i.e., stochastic gating variable dynamics), and network connectivity implemented via electrical or chemical connections gap junctions excitatory/inhibitory synapses). find that...

We investigate the behavior of a model neuron that receives biophysically-realistic noisy post-synaptic current based on uncorrelated spiking activity from large number afferents. show that, with static synapses, such noise can give rise to inverse stochastic resonance (ISR) as function presynaptic firing rate. compare this case dynamic synapses feature short-term synaptic plasticity, and interval rate over which ISR exists be extended or diminished. consider both depression facilitation....

Topological signals defined on nodes, links and higher dimensional simplices define the dynamical state of a network or simplicial complex. As such, topological are attracting increasing attention in theory, systems, signal processing machine learning. nodes typically studied dynamics, while much less explored. Here we investigate Dirac synchronization, describing locally coupled network, treated using operator. The dynamics is affected by phase lag depending nearby vice versa. We show that...

Abstract Triadic interactions in the brain are general mechanisms by which a node, e.g. neuron or glia cell such as astrocyte, can regulate directly link, synapse between other two nodes. The regulation takes place familiar way either depressing facilitating synaptic transmission. Such ubiquitous neural systems, accounting both for axo-axonic and tripartite synapses mediated astrocytes, instance, have been related to neuronal processes at different time-scales, including short- long-term...
