Synchronization of neuronal networks through local adaptive coupling

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the cortico-cortical network of cats' brain, and discuss the related synchronization under the framework of adaptive evolving networks. Based on the decentralized adaptive coupling control strategies, we show that the synchronization can be achieved with the adaptive coupling strengths reaching finite steady values. Moreover, we find that when complete synchronization is achieved, the coupling strengths become correlated with the topology of the cortico-cortical networks.
