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.

Neural field dynamics with heterogeneous connection topology.

It is shown that myelination, a developmentally relevant change of the heterogeneous connectivity, always results in the stabilization of the steady state via oscillatory instabilities, independent of the local connectivity.

Two-point heterogeneous connections in a continuum neural field model

A novel heterogeneous connection scheme in a 1D continuum neural field model added to a local connection function in order to model the “patchy” connections seen in, for example visual cortex is examined.

It is demonstrated that the local connectivity generates the well-known power-law behaviour of the electroencephalographic power spectrum with an exponent close to −2, whereas the global connections generate a more characteristic line spectrum.

On the Variability of Timing in a Spatially Continuous System with Heterogeneous Connectivity

How, and to what extent, the introduction of additional connectivity reduces the variability of timing patterns, even though the system does not perform a macroscopic phase transition is discussed.

The Dynamical and Structural Basis of Brain Activity

This work presents a network model based on spiking neurons at the local level and large-scale anatomic connectivity matrices at the global level that displays endogenous or autonomous dynamics of the sort observed in resting-state studies, and provides once again support for the hypothesis that endogenous brain activity is critical.

Neural field dynamics under variation of local and global connectivity and finite transmission speed

Spatiotemporal dynamics of continuum neural fields

This work surveys recent analytical approaches to studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of continuum neural fields, an important example of spatially extended excitable systems with nonlocal interactions.

Complex Neural Dynamics

This chapter provides a brief overview of current concepts and models of how structured brain connectivity gives rise to complex neural dynamics.

Connectivity and dynamics of neural information processing

This article discusses how changes in the connectivity of a neural network affect the spatiotemporal network dynamics qualitatively, or equivalently, structure and function, in the current literature on neural connectivity and dynamics.

Heterogeneous Connectivity in Neural Fields: A Stochastic Approach

One of the traditional approximations applied in Amari type neural field models is that of a homogeneous isotropic connection function. Incorporation of heterogeneous connectivity into this type of…
