The eigenvalue spectrum of the matrix of directed weights defining a neural network model is informative of several stability and dynamical properties of network activity. Existing results for eigenspectra of sparse asymmetric random matrices neglect spatial or other constraints in determining entries in these matrices, and so are of partial applicability to cortical-like architectures. Here we examine a parameterized class of networks that are defined by sparse connectivity, with connection…

Symmetries Constrain Dynamics in a Family of Balanced Neural Networks
TLDR
This work examines a family of random firing-rate neural networks in which each neuron makes either excitatory or inhibitory connections onto its post-synaptic targets and finds that this constrained system may be described as a perturbation from a system with nontrivial symmetries.
Bifurcations of a neural network model with symmetry
We analyze a family of clustered excitatory-inhibitory neural networks and the underlying bifurcation structures that arise because of permutation symmetries in the network as the global coupling
Assessing the Role of Inhibition in Stabilizing Neocortical Networks Requires Large-Scale Perturbation of the Inhibitory Population
TLDR
This work proposes that wide-field optogenetic suppression of inhibition under promoters targeting a large fraction of inhibitory neurons may provide a perturbation of sufficient strength to reveal the operating regime of cortex, and suggests that new experimental designs targeting a majority of inhibition neurons may be able to resolve this question.
Assessing the role of inhibition in stabilizing neocortical networks requires large-scale perturbation of the inhibitory population
TLDR
This work proposes that wide-field optogenetic suppression of inhibition under a promoter targeting all inhibitory neurons may provide a perturbation of sufficient strength to reveal the operating regime of cortex, and suggests new experimental designs, targetting a majority of inhibition neurons, may be able to resolve this question.
Anatomical Constraints on Lateral Competition in Columnar Cortical Architectures
TLDR
The findings give strong support to the direct coupling effect—that the presence of competition across the cortical surface is predicted well by the anatomy of direct excitatory and inhibitory coupling and that multisynaptic network effects are negligible.
Spectral radius of random matrices with independent entries
We consider random $n\times n$ matrices $X$ with independent and centered entries and a general variance profile. We show that the spectral radius of $X$ converges with very high probability to the
LSV-Based Tail Inequalities for Sums of Random Matrices
TLDR
This letter introduces a diagonalization method to convert the LSV operation into the trace operation of an infinitely dimensional diagonal matrix and obtains another version of Laplace-transform bounds to achieve the LSVs based tail inequalities for sums of random matrices.
Tuning network dynamics from criticality to an asynchronous state
TLDR
It is shown that the strength of inhibitory synapses relative to excitatory synapses can be tuned from weak to strong to generate a family of models that spans a continuum from critical dynamics to asynchronous dynamics.
Feedforward Approximations to Dynamic Recurrent Network Architectures
TLDR
Two-layer feedforward architectures with simple, deterministic dynamics could approximate the responses of single-layer recurrent network architectures and were able to find useful approximations to recurrent networks, which can then be evaluated in linear and deterministic time complexity.
Optimization of the Wishart Joint Eigenvalue Probability Density Distribution Based on the Vandermonde Determinant

TLDR
This paper proves that the eigenvalue spectra of these types of random synaptic matrices do not depend on the mean values of their elements even for a much more general type of random neural network, where there is a finite number of types of neurons and their synaptic strengths have correlated distributions.

TLDR
It is found that the largest real part of eigenvalues of a network, which accounts for the stability of an underlying system, decreases linearly as a function of inhibitory connection probability up to a particular threshold value, after which it exhibits rich behaviors with the distribution manifesting generalized extreme value statistics.
Spectra of Modular and Small-World Matrices
TLDR
For small-world networks, it is found that the introduction of short cuts can lead to the creation of satellite bands outside the central band of extended states, exhibiting only localized states in the band gaps.
Eigenvalue spectra of modular networks.
TLDR
This work obtains in a unified fashion the spectrum of a large family of operators, including the adjacency, Laplacian, and normalized LaPLacian matrices, for networks with generic modular structure, in the limit of large degrees.
Predicting criticality and dynamic range in complex networks: effects of topology.
TLDR
A general theoretical approach to study the effects of network topology on dynamic range is developed, which quantifies the range of stimulus intensities resulting in distinguishable network responses and finds that the largest eigenvalue of the weighted network adjacency matrix governs the network dynamic range.
Spectral properties of networks with community structure.
TLDR
It is shown that in many cases, the spectrum of eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of a network with community structure gives a clear indication of the number of communities in the network.
Analysis of Cyclic Dynamics for Networks of Linear Threshold Neurons
TLDR
By concentrating on a general parameterized two-cell network, theoretical results for geometrical properties and existence of periodic orbits are presented, which shows that the network is still bounded although unstable modes exist.
Spectra of modular random graphs
We compute spectra of symmetric random matrices defined on graphs exhibiting a modular structure. Modules are initially introduced as fully connected sub-units of a graph. By contrast, inter-module
