Fronts and bumps in spatially extended Kuramoto networks
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider moving fronts and stationary “bumps” in networks of non-locally coupled phase oscillators. Fronts connect regions of high local synchrony with regions of complete asynchrony, while bumps consist of spatially-localised regions of partially-synchronous oscillators surrounded by complete asynchrony. Using the Ott-Antonsen ansatz we derive non-local differential equations which describe the network dynamics in the continuum limit. Front and bump solutions of these equations are studied by either “freezing” them in a travelling coordinate frame or analysing them as homoclinic or heteroclinic orbits. Numerical continuation is used to determine parameter regions in which such solutions exist and are stable.

Nonlinear Langevin Equations for Wandering Patterns in Stochastic Neural Fields
We analyze the effects of additive, spatially extended noise on spatiotemporal patterns in continuum neural fields. Our main focus is how fluctuations impact patterns when they are weakly coupled to an external stimulus or another equivalent pattern. Showing the generality of our approach, we study both propagating fronts and stationary bumps. Using a separation of time scales, we represent the...
متن کاملKuramoto - Sivashinsky weak turbulence , in the symmetry unrestricted space
Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation was introduced by Kuramoto [1976] in one-spatial dimension, for the study of phase turbulance in the BelousovZhabotinsky reaction. Sivashinsky derived it independently in the context of small thermal diffusive instabilities for laminar flame fronts. It and related equations have also been used to model directional solidification and , in multiple spatial dimensions...
متن کاملSpatially Structured Waves and Oscillations in Neuronal Networks with Synaptic Depression and Adaptation
We analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of systems of nonlocal integro–differential equations, which all represent neuronal networks with synaptic depression and spike frequency adaptation. These networks support a wide range of spatially structured waves, pulses, and oscillations, which are suggestive of phenomena seen in cortical slice experiments and in vivo. In a one–dimensional network with...
متن کاملWandering Bumps in Stochastic Neural Fields
We study the effects of noise on stationary pulse solutions (bumps) in spatially extended neural fields. The dynamics of a neural field is described by an integrodifferential equation whose integral term characterizes synaptic interactions between neurons in different spatial locations of the network. Translationally symmetric neural fields support a continuum of stationary bump solutions, whic...
متن کاملWaves and bumps in neuronal networks with axo-dendritic synaptic interactions
We consider a firing rate model of a neuronal network continuum that incorporates axo-dendritic synaptic processing and the finite conduction velocities of action potentials. The model equation is an integral one defined on a spatially extended domain. Apart from a spatial integral mixing the network connectivity function with space-dependent delays, arising from non-instantaneous axonal commun...
