Q2. How many small-world networks can be built?
14 Small-world networks can be built starting from a network of locally coupled neurons, i.e., each neuron isDownloaded 27 Feb 2012 to 158.132.161.52.
Q3. Why is the value of Vth higher in a random connected network?
It is because that although the connection will improve the performance of the system by increasing the information exchange among the neurons, the subthreshold oscillation of neurons will also transform among the network through electrical coupling, and the coupled neurons will respond to the input signal collectively only after the synchronization of subthreshold oscillation among the network.
Q4. How many asymmetric double-well potential functions can be built in a small-world?
7Then the so-called asymmetric double-well potential function1 in the rest state of Eqs. 6 and 7 can be given asV x = x22 −x4 12 − a3/3 − a + Isyn x .
Q5. What is the effect of the number of neighbors?
So for a randomly coupled neuron population, if the connection probability is greater than a certain threshold, the optimal amplitude of high-frequency driving will increase with its increase, and for a small-world network, the optimal amplitude of high-frequency driving willincrease and the range of suitable high-frequency driving levels will reduce with the increase in the number of nearest neighbors.
Q6. What is the effect of the emergence of VR in a random network?
The larger the neuron population is, the more energy is needed for the emergence of VR in a randomly coupled neuron network, and while the neuron population is large enough the corresponding high-frequency driving amplitude BVR of VR will not increase notably with the size of the neuron network, as shown in Fig. 4 b .For an Erdös–Rényi Ref. 21 random graph with N nodes, if the connection probability p is greater than a certain threshold pt ln N /N, then almost every random graph is connected, so for a randomly coupled neuron network with 50 FHN units, if connection probability is less than ln 50 /50 0.08, there may be some isolated neurons in the network and the value of Q increases with the increase in p, as shown in Fig. 5 a .
Q7. How many local links can affect the VR in a small-world network?
8The sketch of V x is shown in Fig. 10, from which the authors can see that Vth, the height of the potential barrier separating the two minima, determines the optimal strength of highfrequency driving of VR, and the synaptic current can change the value of Vth so as to affect VR in network with various topologies.
Q8. What is the effect of the additional links?
The authors suspect that while almost every unit is connected the additional links will lead to more energy cost needed for VR in a neural network.
Q9. What is the probability of a random graph connected?
If p is greater than 0.08, almost every graph is connected, so the value of Q will not increase with the increase in p, as shown in Fig. 5 b .
Q10. How many FHN units can be used to drive a small-world network?
The result is shown in Fig. 8 a , where it is evident that increasing the number of FHN units, the suitable high-frequency driving levels will be reduced.
Q11. How is the topology of a random network determined?
Given a probability p of connections, each pair of neurons is connected by a link with probability p so the topology structure of a random network is determined by the probability, as shown in Fig.
Q12. What is the main idea of the paper?
In order to model these systems Strogatz and Watts introduced the concept of small-world networks that successfully captures the essential features of the neuronal systems of the C. elegans.
