Abstract

We examine a family of random firing-rate neural networks in which we enforce the neurobiological constraint of Dale's Law-each neuron makes either excitatory or inhibitory connections onto its post-synaptic targets. We find that this constrained system may be described as a perturbation from a system with nontrivial symmetries. We analyze the symmetric system using the tools of equivariant bifurcation theory and demonstrate that the symmetry-implied structures remain evident in the perturbed system. In comparison, spectral characteristics of the network coupling matrix are relatively uninformative about the behavior of the constrained system.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 October 2017.
All research outputs
#20,449,496
of 23,005,189 outputs
Outputs from The Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience
#70
of 80 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#282,910
of 324,392 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Journal of Mathematical Neuroscience
#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,005,189 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 80 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.6. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 324,392 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
