Fast Sparsely Synchronized Brain Rhythms in A Scale-Free Neural Network
We consider a directed Barab\'{a}si-Albert scale-free network model with symmetric preferential attachment with the same in- and out-degrees, and study emergence of sparsely synchronized rhythms for a fixed attachment degree in an inhibitory population of fast spiking Izhikevich interneurons. For a study on the fast sparsely synchronized rhythms, we fix $J$ (synaptic inhibition strength) at a sufficiently large value, and investigate the population states by increasing $D$ (noise intensity). For small $D$, full synchronization with the same population-rhythm frequency $f_p$ and mean firing rate (MFR) $f_i$ of individual neurons occurs, while for sufficiently large $D$ partial synchronization with $f_p > {\langle f_i \rangle}$ ($\langle f_i \rangle$: ensemble-averaged MFR) appears due to intermittent discharge of individual neurons; particularly, the case of $f_p > 4 {\langle f_i \rangle}$ is referred to as sparse synchronization. Only for the partial and sparse synchronization, MFRs and contributions of individual neuronal dynamics to population synchronization change depending on their degrees, unlike the case of full synchronization. Consequently, dynamics of individual neurons reveal the inhomogeneous network structure for the case of partial and sparse synchronization, which is in contrast to the case of statistically homogeneous random graphs and small-world networks. Finally, we investigate the effect of network architecture on sparse synchronization in the following three cases: (1) variation in the degree of symmetric attachment (2) asymmetric preferential attachment of new nodes with different in- and out-degrees (3) preferential attachment between pre-existing nodes (without addition of new nodes). In these three cases, both relation between network topology and sparse synchronization and contributions of individual dynamics to the sparse synchronization are discussed.

Effect of Interpopulation Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity on Synchronized Rhythms in Neuronal Networks with Inhibitory and Excitatory Populations
We consider clustered small-world networks with both inhibitory (I) and excitatory (E) populations. This I-E neuronal network has adaptive dynamic I to E and E to I interpopulation synaptic strengths, governed by interpo…
Emergence of Sparsely Synchronized Rhythms and Their Responses to External Stimuli in An Inhomogeneous Small-World Complex Neuronal Network
We consider an inhomogeneous small-world network (SWN) composed of inhibitory short-range (SR) and long-range (LR) interneurons. By varying the fraction of LR interneurons $p_{long}$, we investigate the effect of network…
Effect of Inhibitory Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity on Fast Sparsely Synchronized Rhythms in A Small-World Neuronal Network
We consider the Watts-Strogatz small-world network (SWN) consisting of inhibitory fast spiking Izhikevich interneurons. This inhibitory neuronal population has adaptive dynamic synaptic strengths governed by the inhibito…
Firing rate model for brain rhythms controlled by astrocytes
We propose a new mean-field model of brain rhythms governed by astrocytes. This theoretical framework describes how astrocytes can regulate neuronal activity and contribute to the generation of brain rhythms. The model d…
Population and Individual Firing Behaviors in Sparsely Synchronized Rhythms in The Hippocampal Dentate Gyrus
We investigate population and individual firing behaviors in sparsely synchronized rhythms (SSRs) in a spiking neural network of the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG). The main encoding granule cells (GCs) are grouped into …
