Limit cycle oscillators that are coupled in a pulsatile manner are referred to as pulse coupled
oscillators. In these oscillators, the interactions take the form of brief pulses such that the …

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the human motor cortex induces changes in
excitability within cortical and spinal circuits that occur during and after the stimulation …

Recent experimental and theoretical studies have highlighted the importance of cell-to-cell
differences in the dynamics and functions of neural networks, such as in different types of …

Phase resetting curves characterize the way a system with a collective periodic behavior
responds to perturbations. We consider globally coupled ensembles of Sakaguchi-Kuramoto …

The plethora of inhibitory interneurons in the hippocampus and cortex play a pivotal role in
generating rhythmic activity by clustering and synchronizing cell firing. Results of our …

We describe an algorithm to control synchrony between two periodically firing neurons. The
control scheme operates in real-time using a dynamic clamp platform. This algorithm is a low …

Robust synchronized activity is widely observed in real neural systems. However, a
mechanism for robust synchronization that can be understood analytically, and has a clear …

Recent experiments have shown that GABA A receptor mediated inhibition in adult
hippocampus is shunting rather than hyperpolarizing. Simulation studies of realistic …

We investigate the emergence of in-phase synchronization in a heterogeneous network of
coupled inhibitory interneurons in the presence of spike timing dependent plasticity (STDP) …

New tools for analysis of oscillatory networks using phase response theory (PRT) under the
assumption of pulsatile coupling have been developed steadily since the 1980s, but none …
