Synchrony in directed connectomes

Abstract Synchronisation plays a fundamental role in variety of physiological functions, such as visual perception, cognitive function, sleep and arousal. The precise the interplay between local dynamics directed cortical topology on propensity for structures to synchronise, however, remains poorly understood. Here, we study impact that network has synchronisation properties brain by considering range species parcellations, including cortex cat Macaque monkey, well nervous system C. elegans round worm. We deploy Kuramoto phase model simulate neural aforementioned connectomes, investigate extent which directionality influences distributed patterns synchrony. In particular, find induces both slower speeds more robust locking presence delays. Moreover, contrast large-scale recently observed relations resting state structure appear break down invertebrate networks connectome, thus suggesting variations at different scales can significantly Our results suggest key shaping moreover its exclusion risks simplifying activation potentially significant way.
