}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…

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
