“…We can observe relatively large synchronized firing of the neurons which is not present in the subnetworks of the corresponding random networks. Such synchronization was also observed experimentally in the spontaneous activity in slices of mouse visual cortex (Mao et al, 2001;Cossart et al, 2003;Ikegaya et al, 2004;Grinstein and Linsker, 2005). A model investigation into the role of network structure in the generation of synchrony suggested that networks with hubs are able to exhibit synchrony peaks (Grinstein and Linsker, 2005).…”
