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 in real-world networks (in particular in biological networks) it is usually not possible to know the exact connection weights. Therefore, it is important to determine the structural properties of a network necessary to generate oscillations. Here, we provide a proof that uses dynamical system theory to prove that an odd number of inhibitory nodes and strong enough connections are necessary to generate oscillations in a single cycle threshold-linear network. We illustrate these analytical results in a biologically plausible network with either firing-rate based or spiking neurons. Our work provides structural properties necessary to generate oscillations in a network. We use this knowledge to reconcile recent experimental findings about oscillations in basal ganglia with classical findings.

Multi-band oscillations emerge from a simple spiking network
In the brain, coherent neuronal activities often appear simultaneously in multiple frequency bands, e.g., as combinations of alpha (8-12 Hz), beta (12.5-30 Hz), gamma (30-120 Hz) oscillations, among others. These rhythms…
Biodiversity in models of cyclic dominance is preserved by heterogeneity in site-specific invasion rates
Global, population-wide oscillations in models of cyclic dominance may result in the collapse of biodiversity due to the accidental extinction of one species in the loop. Previous research has shown that such oscillation…
Overcompensation of transient and permanent death rate increases in age-structured models with cannibalistic interactions
There has been renewed interest in understanding the mathematical structure of ecological population models that lead to overcompensation, the process by which a population recovers to a higher level after suffering a pe…
Structural features of microvascular networks trigger blood-flow oscillations
We analyse mathematical models in order to understand how microstructural features of vascular networks may affect blood-flow dynamics, and to identify particular characteristics that promote the onset of self-sustained …
Competition between transient oscillations and early stochasticity in exponentially growing populations
It has been recently shown that the exponential growth rate of a population of bacterial cells starting from a single cell shows transient oscillations due to early synchronized bursts of division. These oscillations are…
