Exact low-dimensional description for fast neural oscillations with low firing rates
Recently, low-dimensional models of neuronal activity have been exactly derived for large networks of deterministic, Quadratic Integrate-and-Fire (QIF) neurons. Such firing rate models (FRM) describe the emergence of fast collective oscillations (>30~Hz) via the frequency-locking of a subset of neurons to the global oscillation frequency. However, the suitability of such models to describe realistic neuronal states is seriously challenged by fact that during episodes of fast collective oscillations, neuronal discharges are often very irregular and have low firing rates compared to the global oscillation frequency. Here we extend the theory to derive exact FRM for QIF neurons to include noise, and show that networks of stochastic neurons displaying irregular discharges at low firing rates during episodes of fast oscillations, are governed by exactly the same evolution equations as deterministic networks. Our results reconcile two traditionally confronted views on neuronal synchronization, and upgrade the applicability of exact FRM to describe a broad range of biologically realistic neuronal states.

Low-dimensional model for adaptive networks of spiking neurons
We investigate a large ensemble of Quadratic Integrate-and-Fire (QIF) neurons with heterogeneous input currents and adaptation variables. Our analysis reveals that for a specific class of adaptation, termed quadratic spi…
Macroscopic description for networks of spiking neurons
A major goal of neuroscience, statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics is to understand how brain function arises from the collective dynamics of networks of spiking neurons. This challenge has been chiefly addressed t…
Comparison between an exact and a heuristic neural mass model with second order synapses
Neural mass models (NMMs) are designed to reproduce the collective dynamics of neuronal populations. A common framework for NMMs assumes heuristically that the output firing rate of a neural population can be described b…
Structural constraints on the emergence of oscillations in multi-population neural networks
Oscillations arise in many real-world systems and are associated with both functional and dysfunctional states. Whether a network can oscillate can be estimated if we know the strength of interaction between nodes. But i…
