The complexity of many biological, social and technological systems stems from the richness
of the interactions among their units. Over the past decades, a variety of complex systems …

Percolation and synchronization are two phase transitions that have been extensively
studied since already long ago. A classic result is that, in the vast majority of cases, these …

A modern introduction to synchronization phenomena, this text presents recent discoveries
and the current state of research in the field, from low-dimensional systems to complex …

Inverse stochastic resonance refers to the phenomenon that the average firing rate of a
neuron is inhibited by noise, of which mechanism is widely used in a variety of biological …

Much of the motor impairment associated with Parkinson's disease is thought to arise from
pathological activity in the networks formed by the basal ganglia (BG) and motor cortex. To …

Anticipation is the act of using information about the past and present to make predictions
about future scenarios. As a concept, it is predominantly associated with the psychology of …

Different measures of directional influence have been employed to infer effective
connectivity in the brain. When the connectivity between two regions is such that one of them …

Paradoxical phenomena that inhibitory modulations enhance neuronal firing activity or
excitatory modulations reduce firing activity have attracted much attention in recent studies …

The paradoxical phenomena that excitatory modulation does not enhance but reduces or
inhibitory modulation not suppresses but promotes neural firing activities have attracted …

Synchronization of two synaptically coupled neurons with memory and synaptic delay is
studied using the Rulkov map, one of the simplest neuron models which displays specific …
