Abstract
Various dynamical properties of four-dimensional mammalian cold receptor model have been discussed widely in the literature considering noise and temperature as important parameters of discussion. Though various spiking and bursting behaviors of the neuron under various noise and temperature conditions studied for a single neuron, no much discussions have been done on the collective behavior. We investigate the collective behavior of these temperature dependent stochastic neurons and unlike the neuron models when forced by periodic external force there is no wave reentry or spiral waves in the network. Hence, we introduce obstacle in the network and depending on the orientation and size of the introduced obstacle, we could show their effects on the wave reentry in the network. Various significant discussions are produced in this paper to confirm that obstacles placed parallel to the wave entry affects the excitability of the tissues significantly compared to those obstacles place perpendicular. We could also show that those obstacles which are lesser in dimensions doesn't affect the excitabilities and hence doesn't contribute for wave reentry. We introduce a new technique to identify wave reentry and spiral waves using the period of individual nodes is proposed. This technique could help us identify even the lowest of excitability change which cannot be seen when using spatiotemporal snapshots.

Abstract
Multi-scroll chaotic attractor makes the oscillator become more complex in dynamic behaviors. The collective behaviors of coupled oscillators with multi-scroll attractors are investigated in the regular network in two-dimensional array, which the local kinetics is described by an improved Chua circuit. A feasible scheme of negative feedback with diversity is imposed on the network to stabilize the spatial patterns. Firstly, the Chua circuit is improved by replacing the nonlinear term with Sine function to generate infinite aquariums so that multi-scroll chaotic attractors could be generated under appropriate parameters, which could be detected by calculating the Lyapunov exponent in the parameter region. Furthermore, negative feedback with different gains (D1, D2) is imposed on the local square center area A2 and outer area A1 of the network, it is found that spiral wave, target wave could be developed in the network under appropriate feedback gain with diversity and size of controlled area. Particularly, homogeneous state could be reached after synchronization by selecting appropriate feedback gain and controlled size in the network. Finally, the distribution for statistical factors of synchronization is calculated in the two-parameter space to understand the transition of pattern region. It is found that developed spiral waves, target waves often are associated with smaller factor of synchronization. These results show that emergence of sustained spiral wave and continuous target wave could be effective for further suppression of spatiotemporal chaos in network by generating stable pacemaker completely.

Abstract
Autapse plays an important role in regulating the electric activity of neuron by feedbacking time-delayed current on the membrane of neuron. Autapses are considered in a local area of regular network of neurons to investigate the development of spatiotemporal pattern, and emergence of spiral wave is observed while it fails to grow up and occupy the network completely. It is found that spiral wave can be induced to occupy more area in the network under optimized noise on the network with periodical or no-flux boundary condition being used. The developed spiral wave with self-sustained property can regulate the collective behaviors of neurons as a pacemaker. To detect the collective behaviors, a statistical factor of synchronization is calculated to investigate the emergence of ordered state in the network. The network keeps ordered state when self-sustained spiral wave is formed under noise and autapse in local area of network, and it independent of the selection of periodical or no-flux boundary condition. The developed stable spiral wave could be helpful for memory due to the distinct self-sustained property.

Abstract
The synchronization transitions in Newman-Watts small-world neuronal networks (SWNNs) induced by time delay τ and long-range connection (LRC) probability P have been investigated by synchronization parameter and space-time plots. Four distinct parameter regions, that is, asynchronous region, transition region, synchronous region, and oscillatory region have been discovered at certain LRC probability P = 1.0 as time delay is increased. Interestingly, desynchronization is observed in oscillatory region. More importantly, we consider the spatiotemporal patterns obtained in delayed Newman-Watts SWNNs are the competition results between long-range drivings (LRDs) and neighboring interactions. In addition, for moderate time delay, the synchronization of neuronal network can be enhanced remarkably by increasing LRC probability. Furthermore, lag synchronization has been found between weak synchronization and complete synchronization as LRC probability P is a little less than 1.0. Finally, the two necessary conditions, moderate time delay and large numbers of LRCs, are exposed explicitly for synchronization in delayed Newman-Watts SWNNs.

Abstract
Formation and selection of multiarmed spiral wave due to spontaneous symmetry breaking are investigated in a regular network of Hodgkin-Huxley neuron by changing the excitability and imposing spatial forcing currents on the neurons in the network. The arm number of the multiarmed spiral wave is dependent on the distribution of spatial forcing currents and excitability diversity in the network, and the selection criterion for supporting multiarmed spiral waves is discussed. A broken spiral segment is measured by a short polygonal line connected by three adjacent points (controlled nodes), and a double-spiral wave can be developed from the spiral segment. Multiarmed spiral wave is formed when a group of double-spiral waves rotate in the same direction in the network. In the numerical studies, a group of controlled nodes are selected and spatial forcing currents are imposed on these nodes, and our results show that l-arm stable spiral wave (l = 2, 3, 4,...8) can be induced to occupy the network completely. It is also confirmed that low excitability is critical to induce multiarmed spiral waves while high excitability is important to propagate the multiarmed spiral wave outside so that distinct multiarmed spiral wave can occupy the network completely. Our results confirm that symmetry breaking of target wave in the media accounts for emergence of multiarmed spiral wave, which can be developed from a group of spiral waves with single arm under appropriate condition, thus the potential formation mechanism of multiarmed spiral wave in the media is explained.

Abstract
A regular network of neurons is constructed by using the Morris-Lecar (ML) neuron with the ion channels being considered, and the potential mechnism of the formation of a spiral wave is investigated in detail. Several spiral waves are initiated by blocking the target wave with artificial defects and/or partial blocking (poisoning) in ion channels. Furthermore, possible conditions for spiral wave formation and the effect of partial channel blocking are discussed completely. Our results are summarized as follows. 1) The emergence of a target wave depends on the transmembrane currents with diversity, which mapped from the external forcing current and this kind of diversity is associated with spatial heterogeneity in the media. 2) Distinct spiral wave could be induced to occupy the network when the target wave is broken by partially blocking the ion channels of a fraction of neurons (local poisoned area), and these generated spiral waves are similar with the spiral waves induced by artificial defects. It is confirmed that partial channel blocking of some neurons in the network could play a similar role in breaking a target wave as do artificial defects; 3) Channel noise and additive Gaussian white noise are also considered, and it is confirmed that spiral waves are also induced in the network in the presence of noise. According to the results mentioned above, we conclude that appropriate poisoning in ion channels of neurons in the network acts as ‘defects’ on the evolution of the spatiotemporal pattern, and accounts for the emergence of a spiral wave in the network of neurons. These results could be helpful to understand the potential cause of the formation and development of spiral waves in the cortex of a neuronal system.

Abstract
Collective behaviors of spiral waves in the networks of Hodgkin-Huxley neuron are investigated. A stable rotating spiral wave can be developed to occupy the quiescent areas in networks of neurons by selecting appropriate initial values for the variables in the networks of neurons. In our numerical studies, most neurons are quiescent and finite (few) numbers of neurons are selected with different values to form a spiral seed. In this way, neurons communicating are carried by propagating spiral wave to break through the quiescent domains (areas) in networks of neurons. The effect of membrane temperature on the formation of spiral wave is investigated by selecting different fixed membrane temperatures in the networks, and it is found that a spiral wave cannot be developed if the membrane temperature is close to a certain threshold. A quantitative factor of synchronization is defined to measure the statistical properties and collective behaviors of the spiral wave. And a distinct phase transition, which indicates the critical condition for spiral survival, is observed in the sudden changing point of the factors of synchronization curve vs. certain bifurcation parameter. Internal noise is introduced into ion channels (channel noise) with the Langevin method. It is found that a stable rotating spiral wave is developed and the spiral wave is robust to weak channel noise (the membrane patch is not small). The spiral wave can not grow up and the stable rotating spiral wave encounters instability in presence of strong channel noise. Coherence resonance-like behavior is observed in calculating the factors of synchronization in presence of channel noise.

Abstract
The synchronized behaviors of a noisy small-world neuronal network with delay and diversity is numerically studied by calculating a synchronization measure and plotting firing pattern. We show that delay in the information transmission can induce fruitful synchronization transitions, including transition from phase locking to antiphase synchronization, and transition from antiphase synchronization to complete synchronization. Furthermore, the delay-induced complete synchronization can be changed by diversity, which causes the oscillatory-like transition between antiphase synchronization and complete synchronization.

Abstract
Diverse self-sustained oscillatory patterns and their mechanisms in small-world networks (SWNs) of excitable nodes are studied. Spatiotemporal patterns of SWNs are sensitive to long-range connection probability P and coupling intensity D . By varying P in wide range with fixed D , we observe totally six types of asymptotic states: pure spiral waves, pure self-sustained target waves, patterns of mixtured spirals and target waves, pseudospiral turbulence, synchronizing oscillations, and rest state. The parameter conditions for all these states are specified, and the mechanisms of these states are heuristically explained. In particular, the mechanism of emergence and annihilation of synchronizing oscillations is explained by using the shortest path length analysis.

Abstract
Small-world networks describe many important practical systems among which neural networks consisting of excitable nodes are the most typical ones. In this paper we study self-sustained oscillations of target waves in excitable small-world networks. A dominant phase-advanced driving (DPAD) method, which is generally applicable for analyzing all oscillatory complex networks consisting of nonoscillatory nodes, is proposed to reveal the self-organized structures supporting this type of oscillations. The DPAD method explicitly explores the oscillation sources and wave propagation paths of the systems, which are otherwise deeply hidden in the complicated patterns of randomly distributed target groups. Based on the understanding of the self-organized structure, the oscillatory patterns can be controlled with an extremely high efficiency.

Abstract
We discuss stochastic resonance in a biased linear quantum system that is subject to multiplicative and additive noises. Starting from a microscopic system-reservoir Hamiltonian, we derive a c-number analogue of the generalized Langevin equation. The developed approach puts forth a quantum mechanical generalization of the "Kubo type" oscillator which is a linear system. Such a system is often used in the literature to study various phenomena in nonequilibrium systems via a particular interaction between system and the external noise. Our analytical results proposed here have the ability to reveal the role of external noise and vis-a-vis the mechanisms and detection of subtle underlying signatures of the stochastic resonance behavior in a linear system. In our development, we show that only when the external noise possesses a "finite correlation time" the quantum effect begins to appear. We observe that the quantum effect enhances the resonance in comparison to the classical one.

Abstract
We investigate numerically the collective dynamical behavior of pulse-coupled nonleaky integrate-and-fire neurons that are arranged on a two-dimensional small-world network. To ensure ongoing activity, we impose a probability for spontaneous firing for each neuron. We study network dynamics evolving from different sets of initial conditions in dependence on coupling strength and rewiring probability. Besides a homogeneous equilibrium state for low coupling strength, we observe different local patterns including cyclic waves, spiral waves, and turbulentlike patterns, which-depending on network parameters-interfere with the global collective firing of the neurons. We attribute the various network dynamics to distinct regimes in the parameter space. For the same network parameters different network dynamics can be observed depending on the set of initial conditions only. Such a multistable behavior and the interplay between local pattern formation and global collective firing may be attributable to the spatiotemporal dynamics of biological networks.

Abstract
We suggest a promising engineering approach to structural perturbation that in principle generates arbitrary additional connections artificially. We show that this structural perturbation method can be applied to stabilize spiral waves noninvasively. Furthermore, the stabilization performance is improved dramatically using proper delay for each additional connection to be created. This structural perturbation method with proper parameters can also be considered as a noninvasive adaptive pinning control that obtains better control performance than the typical constant pinning control. Remarkably, we numerically illustrate that a few additional connections (i.e., small structural perturbation) may result in stabilization of spiral waves. All methods suggested are motivated and illustrated with a FitzHugh-Nagumo model.

Abstract
We study the impact of additive Gaussian noise and weak periodic forcing on the dynamics of a scale-free network of bistable overdamped oscillators. The periodic forcing is introduced to a single oscillator and therefore acts as a pacemaker trying to impose its rhythm on the whole ensemble. We show that an intermediate intensity of temporally and spatially uncorrelated noise is able to optimally assist the pacemaker in achieving this goal, thus providing evidence for stochastic resonance on weakly paced scale-free networks. Because of the inherent degree inhomogeneity of individual oscillators forming the scale-free network, the placement of the pacemaker within the network is thereby crucial. As two extremes, we consider separately the introduction of the pacemaker to the oscillator with the highest degree and to one of the oscillators having the lowest degree. In both cases the coupling strength plays a crucial role, since it determines to what extent the whole network will follow the pacemaker on the expense of a weaker correlation between the pacemaker and the units that are directly linked with the paced oscillator. Higher coupling strengths facilitate the global outreach of the pacemaker, but require higher noise intensities for the optimal response. In contrast, lower coupling strengths and comparatively low noise intensities localize the optimal response to immediate neighbors of the paced oscillator. If the pacemaker is introduced to the main hub, the transition between the locally and globally optimal responses is characterized by a double resonance that postulates the existence of an optimal coupling strength for the transmission of weak rhythmic activity across scale-free networks. We corroborate the importance of the inhomogeneous structure of scale-free networks by additionally considering regular networks of oscillators with different degrees of coupling.

Abstract
The effects of spatiotemporally correlated noise on the regularity of spiking oscillations are studied in a network composed of Fitz-Hugh-Nagumo neurons. The spiking regularity of the neural network becomes the best at a moderate noise intensity, indicating the occurrence of coherence resonance (CR). The CR in a Watts-Strogatz small-world network is further improved by adding a small fraction of long-range connections. Given a set of temporal correlation constant tau and spatial correlation length lambda of the noise, there exists an optimal network topology randomness, at which the spiking oscillations show the best regularity. The optimal randomness of the network topology at different tau and lambda varies in a narrow range. Changing lambda does not affect the optimal tau for achieving the most regular spike train, whereas varying tau, the best spiking regularity emerges at different optimal lambda.

We show that the correlation between the frequency of subthreshold pacemaker activity and the response of an excitable array is resonantly dependent on the intensity of additive spatiotemporal noise. Thereby, the effect of the underlying network, defining the interactions among excitable units, largely depends on the coupling strength. Only for intermediate coupling strengths is the small world property able to enhance the stochastic resonance, whereas for smaller and larger couplings the impact of the transition from diffusive to random networks is less profound. Thus, the optimal interplay between a localized source of weak rhythmic activity and the response of the whole array demands a delicate balance between the strength of excitation transfer and the effectiveness of the network structure to support it.

Abstract
The regularity of spiking oscillations is studied in the networks with different topological structures. The network is composed of coupled Fitz-Hugh-Nagumo neurons driven by colored noise. The investigation illustrates that the spike train in both the regular and the Watts-Strogatz small-world neuronal networks can show the best regularity at a moderate noise intensity, indicating the existence of coherence resonance. Moreover, the temporal coherence of the spike train in the small-world network is superior to that in a regular network due to the increase of the randomness of the network topology. Besides the noise intensity, the spiking regularity can be optimized by tuning the randomness of the network topological structure or by tuning the correlation time of the colored noise. In particular, under the cooperation of the small-world topology and the correlation time, the spike train with good regularity could sustain a large magnitude of the local noise.

Abstract
Motivated by recent observations that long-range connections (LRCs) play a role in various brain phenomena, we have observed two distinct dynamical transitions in the activity of excitable media where waves propagate both between neighboring regions and through LRCs. When the LRC density p is low, single or multiple spiral waves are seen to emerge and cover the entire system. This state is self-sustaining and robust against perturbations. At p=p(c)(l) , the spirals are suppressed, and there is a transition to a spatially homogeneous, temporally periodic state. Finally, above p=p(c)(u) , activity ceases after a brief transient.

Abstract
We consider a network of FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons; each neuron is subjected to a subthreshold periodic signal and independent Gaussian white noise. The firing pattern of the mean field changes from an internal-scale dominant pattern to an external-scale dominant one when more and more edges are added into the network. We find numerically that (a) this transition is more sensitive to random edges than to regular edges, and (b) there is a saturation length for random edges beyond which the transition is no longer sharpened. The influence of network size is also investigated.

Abstract
Through the last years, different strategies to enhance synchronization in complex networks have been proposed. In this work, we show that synchronization of nonidentical dynamical units that are attractively coupled in a small-world network is strongly improved by just making phase-repulsive a tiny fraction of the couplings. By a purely topological analysis that does not depend on the dynamical model, we link the emerging dynamical behavior with the structural properties of the sparsely coupled repulsive network.

Abstract
We have studied the effect of random long-range connections in chaotic thermosensitive neuron networks with each neuron being capable of exhibiting diverse bursting behaviors, and found stochastic synchronization and optimal spatiotemporal patterns. For a given coupling strength, the chaotic burst-firings of the neurons become more and more synchronized as the number of random connections (or randomness) is increased and, rather, the most pronounced spatiotemporal pattern appears for an optimal randomness. As the coupling strength is increased, the optimal randomness shifts towards a smaller strength. This result shows that random long-range connections can tame the chaos in the neural networks and make the neurons more effectively reach synchronization. Since the model studied can be used to account for hypothalamic neurons of dogfish, catfish, etc., this result may reflect the significant role of random connections in transferring biological information.

Abstract
We suggest a new line of research that we hope will appeal to the nonlinear dynamics community, especially the readers of this Focus Issue. Consider a network of identical oscillators. Suppose the synchronous state is locally stable but not globally stable; it competes with other attractors for the available phase space. How likely is the system to synchronize, starting from a random initial condition? And how does the probability of synchronization depend on the way the network is connected? On the one hand, such questions are inherently difficult because they require calculation of a global geometric quantity, the size of the "sync basin" (or, more formally, the measure of the basin of attraction for the synchronous state). On the other hand, these questions are wide open, important in many real-world settings, and approachable by numerical experiments on various combinations of dynamical systems and network topologies. To give a case study in this direction, we report results on the sync basin for a ring of n >> 1 identical phase oscillators with sinusoidal coupling. Each oscillator interacts equally with its k nearest neighbors on either side. For k/n greater than a critical value (approximately 0.34, obtained analytically), we show that the sync basin is the whole phase space, except for a set of measure zero. As k/n passes below this critical value, coexisting attractors are born in a well-defined sequence. These take the form of uniformly twisted waves, each characterized by an integer winding number q, the number of complete phase twists in one circuit around the ring. The maximum stable twist is proportional to n/k; the constant of proportionality is also obtained analytically. For large values of n/k, corresponding to large rings or short-range coupling, many different twisted states compete for their share of phase space. Our simulations reveal that their basin sizes obey a tantalizingly simple statistical law: the probability that the final state has q twists follows a Gaussian distribution with respect to q. Furthermore, as n/k increases, the standard deviation of this distribution grows linearly with square root of n/k. We have been unable to explain either of these last two results by anything beyond a hand-waving argument.

Abstract
Spatiotemporal chaos on a regular ring network of excitable Gray-Scott dynamical elements is transient. We find that the addition of very few nonlocal network connections drastically changes the average lifetime of spatiotemporal chaos. In the presence of a single shortcut local interface formation delays the collapse of spatiotemporal chaos. This competes with a reduced average characteristic path length that advances the collapse process. Two added shortcuts can prevent the collapse of spatiotemporal chaos by causing an asymptotic local collapse.

Abstract
We have investigated the oscillator death behavior on small-world networks. On one hand, we find that small-world connectivity can eliminate the oscillator death present in the regular lattice. On the other hand, the small-world connectivity can also lead to global oscillator death which is absent in the regular lattice or the completely random network.

Abstract
In this Letter, the effects of random shortcuts in an array of coupled nonlinear chaotic pendulums and their ability to control the dynamical behavior of the system are investigated. We show that random shortcuts can induce periodic synchronized spatiotemporal motions, even though all oscillators are chaotic when uncoupled. This process exhibits a nonmonotonic dependence on the density of shortcuts. Specifically, there is an optimal amount of random shortcuts, which can induce the most ordered motion characterized by the largest order parameter that is introduced to measure the spatiotemporal order. Our results imply that topological randomness can tame spatiotemporal chaos.
