Spatiotemporal pattern formation in neural systems with heterogeneous connection topologies
PHYSICAL REVIEW E 62(6):8462–8465.
Biological systems like the human cortex show homogeneous connectivity,
with additional strongly heterogeneous projections from one area
to another. Here we report how such a dynamic system performs a
macroscopically coherent pattern formation. The connection topology
is used systematically as a control parameter to guide the neural
system through a series of phase transitions. We discuss the example
of a two-point connection, and its destabilization mechanism.,
