Criticality in models of evolving neural networks — •Matthias Rybarsch and Stefan Bornholdt — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Bremen, Otto-Hahn-Allee, 28359 Bremen

We investigate self-organization mechanisms in models of evolving neural networks. Already simple spin models can exhibit self-regulated evolution towards a critical state and are used as toy models for self-tuning in biological neural networks [1]. Recent models as, for example, ref. [2] are defined closer to the biological details, resulting in more complex node dynamics and link evolution. Here, we study a correlation-dependent mechanism for self-organized connectivity evolution as introduced in ref. [1]. In particular we focus on a model that is biologically motivated, yet keeping the dynamics as simple as possible. We find that independently from initial connectivity, the network evolves to an average connectivity close to criticality in terms of damage spreading.
