The brain is composed of complex networks of interacting neurons that express
considerable heterogeneity in their physiology and spiking characteristics. How does this …

The effect of cellular heterogeneity on the coding properties of neural populations is studied
analytically and numerically. We find that heterogeneity decreases the threshold for …

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 …

Topological resonance has been revealed in degree-heterogeneous scale-free networks for
weak signal amplification, but not in degree-homogeneous all-to-all networks [Acebrón et …

We investigate a system of globally coupled bistable oscillators subjected to a common
weak signal, where the couplings are oscillator dependent with random signs: positive or …

In this paper, the power-law heterogeneity of the coupling coefficients is proved to have an
important influence on the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the central oscillator in …

In this paper, stochastic resonance of an ensemble of coupled bistable systems driven by
noise having an α-stable distribution and nonhomogeneous coupling is investigated. The α …

A moderate degree of diversity, in form of quenched noise or intrinsic heterogeneity, can
significantly strengthen the collective response of coupled extended systems. As yet, related …

Recent research has revealed that a system of coupled units with a certain degree of
parameter diversity can generate an enhanced response to a subthreshold signal compared …

The dominant endogenous clock, named the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), regulates
circadian rhythms of behavioral and physiological activity in mammals. One of the main …
