The emergence of connectivity in neuronal networks: From bootstrap percolation to auto-associative memory

Turova, Tatyana LU (2012) In Brain Research 1434. p.277-284
Abstract
We consider a random synaptic pruning in an initially highly interconnected network. It is proved that a random network can maintain a self-sustained activity level for some parameters. For such a set of parameters a pruning is constructed so that in the resulting network each neuron/node has almost equal numbers of in- and out-connections. It is also shown that the set of parameters which admits a self-sustained activity level is rather small within the whole space of possible parameters. It is pointed out here that the threshold of connectivity for an auto-associative memory in a Hopfield model on a random graph coincides with the threshold for the bootstrap percolation on the same random graph. It is argued that this coincidence... (More)

It is pointed out here that the threshold of connectivity for an auto-associative memory in a Hopfield model on a random graph coincides with the threshold for the bootstrap percolation on the same random graph. It is argued that this coincidence reflects the relations between the auto-associative memory mechanism and the properties of the underlying random network structure.
