Dynamics of neural networks with delay — •Judith Lehnert, Thomas Dahms, Philipp Hövel, and Eckehard Schöll — Institut f. Theo. Physik, Sekr. EW 7-1, Technische Universität Berlin, Hardenbergstr. 36, 10623 Berlin, Germany

We investigate synchronization in networks of delay-coupled FitzHugh-Nagumo systems. The paramater values are chosen such that an uncoupled element operates in the excitable regime. However, the coupling acts as a noninvasive control force (Pyragas control) stabilizing the unstable periodic orbit of the synchronized oscillation of all elements. We calculate the master stability function, which denotes the maximum transverse Lyapunov exponent of the synchronization manifold as a function of the eigenvalues of the coupling matrix. Hereby we are able to demonstrate that all network topologies realized by excitatory coupling terms show stable synchronization in a wide range of coupling strengths and delay times.
Furthermore, we investigate small-world-like networks: In a regular network of neurons with excitatory coupling we randomly interpose additional inhibitory links. We show that this introduces a phase transition from the synchronized state to a desynchronized one as the number of these additional inhibitory links approaches a critical value.
