Abstract EN
A Newman-Watts graph is formed by including random links in a regular lattice.
Here, the emergence of synchronization in coupled Newman-Watts graphs is studied.
The whole neural network is considered as a toy model of mammalian visual pathways.
It is composed by four coupled graphs, in which a coupled pair represents the lateral geniculate nucleus and the visual cortex of a cerebral hemisphere.
The hemispheres communicate with each other through a coupling between the graphs representing the visual cortices.
This coupling makes the role of the corpus callosum.
The state transition of neurons, supposed to be the nodes of the graphs, occurs in discrete time and it follows a set of deterministic rules.
From periodic stimuli coming from the retina, the neuronal activity of the whole network is numerically computed.
The goal is to find out how the values of the parameters related to the network topology affect the synchronization among the four graphs.
