Mean-field approximation for networks with synchrony-driven adaptive coupling
Synaptic plasticity is a key component of neuronal dynamics, describing the process by which the connections between neurons change in response to experiences. In this study, we extend a network model of $\theta$-neuron oscillators to include a realistic form of adaptive plasticity. In place of the less tractable spike-timing-dependent plasticity, we employ recently validated phase-difference-dependent plasticity rules, which adjust coupling strengths based on the relative phases of $\theta$-neuron oscillators. We investigate two approaches for implementing this plasticity: pairwise coupling strength updates and global coupling strength updates. A mean-field approximation of the system is derived and we investigate its validity through comparison with the $\theta$-neuron simulations across various stability states. The synchrony of the system is examined using the Kuramoto order parameter. A bifurcation analysis, by means of numerical continuation and the calculation of maximal Lyapunov exponents, reveals interesting phenomena, including bistability and evidence of period-doubling and boundary crisis routes to chaos, that would otherwise not exist in the absence of adaptive coupling.

Mean-Field Reinforcement Learning without Synchrony
Mean-field reinforcement learning (MF-RL) scales multi-agent RL to large populations by reducing each agent's dependence on others to a single summary statistic -- the mean action. However, this reduction requires every …

Synchronized behavior among individuals is a ubiquitous feature of populations. Understanding mechanisms of (de)synchronization demands meaningful, interpretable, computable quantifications of synchrony, relevant to meas…

Neural Synchrony Between Socially Interacting Language Models
Neuroscience has uncovered a fundamental mechanism of our social nature: human brain activity becomes synchronized with others in many social contexts involving interaction. Traditionally, social minds have been regarded…

Electrical synapses play a major role in setting up neuronal synchronization, but the precise mechanisms whereby these synapses contribute to synchrony are subtle and remain elusive. To investigate these mechanisms mean-…
