Chimera states in neuronal networks: A review

S Majhi, BK Bera, D Ghosh, M Perc - Physics of life reviews, 2019 - Elsevier

Multi-chimera states in a higher order network of FitzHugh–Nagumo oscillators

Z Wang, M Chen, X **, H Tian, R Yang - The European Physical Journal …, 2024 - Springer

Chimera states: coexistence of coherence and incoherence in networks of coupled oscillators

MJ Panaggio, DM Abrams - Nonlinearity, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
A chimera state is a spatio-temporal pattern in a network of identical coupled oscillators in
which synchronous and asynchronous oscillation coexist. This state of broken symmetry …

Six decades of the FitzHugh–Nagumo model: A guide through its spatio-temporal dynamics and influence across disciplines

D Cebrián-Lacasa, P Parra-Rivas, D Ruiz-Reynés… - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
Abstract The FitzHugh–Nagumo equation, originally conceived in neuroscience during the

Synchronization patterns and chimera states in complex networks: Interplay of topology and dynamics

E Schöll - The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2016 - Springer
We review chimera patterns, which consist of coexisting spatial domains of coherent
(synchronized) and incoherent (desynchronized) dynamics in networks of identical …

Coherence resonance in neural networks: Theory and experiments

AN Pisarchik, AE Hramov - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
The paper is devoted to the review of the coherence resonance phenomenon in excitable
