“…In this work, we have used the odd cycle rule to study oscillations in BG. However, oscillatory dynamics and the odd cycle rule show up in many chemical, biological and even social systems such as neuronal networks Bel et al, 2021 , psychological networks Greenwald et al, 2002 , social and political networks Leskovec et al, 2010 ; Milo et al, 2004 ; Heider, 1946 ; Cartwright and Harary, 1956 , resting-state networks in autism Moradimanesh et al, 2021 and gene networks Farcot and Gouzé, 2010 ; Allahyari et al, 2022 . In fact, originally Thomas’ conjecture Thomas, 1980 about the structural conditions for oscillations was made for gene regulatory networks.…”
