# gst: hyperchaos and complex dynamical regimes in N-d neuron lattices.

AA << study the dynamics of N-dimensional lattices of nonchaotic Rulkov neurons coupled with a flow of electrical current. (They) consider both nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor couplings, homogeneous and heterogeneous neurons, and small and large lattices over a wide range of electrical coupling strengths. >>

<< As the coupling strength is varied, the neurons exhibit a number of complex dynamical regimes, including unsynchronized chaotic spiking, local quasi-bursting, synchronized chaotic bursting, and synchronized hyperchaos. >>

<< For lattices in higher spatial dimensions, (AA) discover dynamical effects arising from the ``destructive interference'' of many connected neurons and miniature ``phase transitions'' from coordinated spiking threshold crossings. In large two- and three-dimensional neuron lattices, (They) observe emergent dynamics such as local synchronization, quasi-synchronization, and lag synchronization. >>

<< These results illustrate the rich dynamics that emerge from coupled neurons in multiple spatial dimensions, highlighting how dimensionality, connectivity, and heterogeneity critically shape the collective behavior of neuronal systems. >>

# gst: reshaping Kuramoto model, when a collective dynamics becomes chaotic, with a surprisingly weak coupling.

<< The emergence of collective synchrony from an incoherent state is a phenomenon essentially described by the Kuramoto model (..) Collective synchronization is a phenomenon in which an ensemble of heterogeneous, self-sustained oscillatory units (commonly known as oscillators) spontaneously entrain their rhythms. This is a pervasive phenomenon observed in natural systems and man-made devices, covering a wide range of spatio-temporal scales, from cell aggregates to swarms of fireflies >>

<< However, this is only partly true, (..) Kuramoto’s perturbative phase-reduction approach is valid for weak coupling. Specifically, oscillator heterogeneity and interactions appear at zeroth and linear orders in the coupling constant, respectively. >> 

AA << have introduced the ‘enlarged Kuramoto model’; a population of phase oscillators in which three-body interactions enter in a perturbative way. Remarkably, this makes a world of difference, drastically reshaping the traditional Kuramoto scenario. The ‘enlarged Kuramoto model’ exhibits a variety of unsteady states, including collective chaos and hyperchaos. >>
