Figure 1From: Bridging spiking neuron models and mesoscopic population models - a general theory for neural population dynamicsStochastic population equation precisely captures the collective bistable dynamics of a spiking neural network. A Two mutually inhibitory populations of 500 neurons each. B,C Sample paths of the spiking neural network and the derived population model, respectively. Transitions are due to finite-size fluctuations. D The population activity of microscopic and mesoscopic model have the same first- and second-order statistics.Back to article page
